A developer is building a system to automatically generate short, concise summaries of news articles to display in a mobile app. Which Azure NLP capability is designed for this purpose?

  1. AKey Phrase Extraction
  2. BNamed Entity Recognition (NER)
  3. CText Summarization
  4. DLanguage Detection
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Text Summarization

Text Summarization is the NLP capability specifically designed to create a concise and coherent summary of a longer text document, which is exactly what's needed for news articles.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Key Phrase Extraction pulls out important terms, but not a full summary.
  • B. NER identifies specific entities, it doesn't summarize the entire text.
  • D. Language Detection identifies the language of the text, not its summary.

Text Summarization

Text Summarization is an NLP task that condenses a longer text document into a shorter version, while preserving its core meaning and key information.

  • Can be extractive (pulls sentences directly) or abstractive (generates new sentences).
  • Useful for quickly grasping content, news feeds, document review.
  • Available as a feature in Azure Cognitive Service for Language.

Memory trick: Summaries Condense Text Superbly.
