  abstract  = {This paper proposes a novel method to select sentences for automatic
	summarization based on an evolutionary algorithm. The algorithm explores
	candidate summaries space following an objective function computed over ngrams
	probability distributions of the candidate summary and the source documents.
	This method does not consider a summary as a stack of independent sentences but
	as a whole text, and makes use of advances in unsupervised summarization
	evaluation. We compare this sentence extraction method to one of the best
	existing methods which is based on integer linear programming, and show its
	efficiency on three different acknowledged corpora.},
