Recently, studies have utilized large language models (LLMs) for effective summarization solutions. However, limitations like cost and time in using LLMs make achieving high performance challenging. This study introduces a hybrid model that combines graph entropy with LLMs to improve summarization accuracy and time efficiency. Initially, the text is represented as a graph, with each sentence as a node. Using Karci Entropy (KE) to measure each sentence's information, the model selects the most valuable sentences, which are then processed by LLMs like BERT, RoBERTa, and XLNet, to create summaries of 400 words, 200 words, and 3 sentences. Testing on Duc2002 and CNN Daily datasets shows significant gains in both accuracy and processing speed, highlighting the proposed model's effectiveness.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessExtractive SummarizationLarge Language ModelsGraph TheoryKarc & ImathEntropyArticle165Q1Q1WOS:001459360200001
