Analyzing Summarization Techniques
A news organization uses two different automated systems to generate summaries of its articles. For the article excerpt below, System 1 produced Summary A, and System 2 produced Summary B.
Original Text: 'The city council convened an emergency session last night to address the unprecedented flooding caused by Storm Clara. The storm, which intensified rapidly over the past 24 hours, has led to widespread power outages and forced the evacuation of several low-lying neighborhoods. Mayor Johnson announced that national guard troops have been requested to assist with rescue operations and that emergency shelters are now open at the community center and the high school.'
Summary A: 'The city council convened an emergency session last night to address the unprecedented flooding. Mayor Johnson announced that national guard troops have been requested to assist. Emergency shelters are now open.'
Summary B: 'Recent severe weather from Storm Clara has caused significant flooding and power disruptions, prompting the city to call for military assistance and open public shelters for displaced residents.'
Based on the characteristics of the two summaries, explain the fundamental difference in the approach each system uses to create a summary.

Abstractive Text Summarization
Extractive Text Summarization
A language model is tasked with summarizing the following text:
Original Text: 'The company's quarterly report, released Tuesday, showed a 15% increase in revenue, driven primarily by strong sales in the European market. However, profits were down 5% due to rising operational costs and a one-time expenditure on new factory equipment. The CEO stated that while the profit dip is a concern, the strong revenue growth is a positive indicator for the future.'
The model produces two different summaries:
Summary A: 'The company's quarterly report showed a 15% increase in revenue. However, profits were down 5%. The strong revenue growth is a positive indicator for the future.'
Summary B: 'Despite a slight decrease in profits because of higher expenses, the company experienced significant revenue growth from its European sales, suggesting a promising outlook.'
