With the growing volume of text, finding relevant information is increasingly difficult. Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) addresses this by efficiently extracting relevant content from large document collections. Despite progress, ATS faces challenges like managing long, repetitive sentences, preserving coherence, and maintaining semantic alignment. This work introduces an extractive summarization approach based on topic modeling to address these issues. The proposed method produces summaries with representative sentences, reduced redundancy, concise content, and strong semantic consistency. Its effectiveness, demonstrated through experiments on DUC datasets, outperforms state-of-the-art techniques.
