Studies have shown that human abstractors extract sentences for summaries based on documents' hierarchical structure. On the other hand, automatic text summarization models consider the document only as a sequence of sentences during the process of extraction. It is concluded that the fractal summarization model, which attempts to apply fractal theory to document summarization, outperforms current summarization techniques.
