There is an automatic summarization tool in Winword. Does anybody know the background, i.e. which algorithms are used or where I can find additional background information concerning this feature?
Thank you

Microsoft Research does work in this area, e.g.
Enhancing Single-Document Summarization by Combining RankNet and Third-Party Sources by Svore et al. It would be reasonable to assume that the Winword implementation is based on similar work, but I don’t know the exact algorithm.
