Deploying a generalized, multifunctional mechanism that produces good results for both of the aforementioned tasks seems to be a panacea for most of the text-based, information retrieval needs. In this paper, we present the keyword extraction techniques, exploring the effects that part of speech tagging has on the summarization procedure of an existing system.}, author = {Christos Bouras and Vassilis Tsogkas} }
