The present invention provides a computer-implemented system and method of text
processing. The system and method include analyzing selected text units of a digitally
coded parsed text file to determine text entities, determine the interconnections
between the text entities, test the validity of the text entities, and determine
a quantitative measure of the significance of each text entity. A multigranular
relational text structure is constructed which incorporates the text entities.
Output text is generated from the relational text structure using entity grouping
rules. The text file is parsed using a system of natural dividers. The text units
are selected from the parsed text file using windowing and scanning. The output
text generated conforms to user constraints which can include the volume of output
text to be generated, keywords to be reflected in the output text, and the level
of generalization of the output text.
