Kiswahili Extractive Text Summarization

Kiswahili is the language of the Swahili people, who are mostly found in Tanzania and Kenya (along the East African coast and adjacent islands). Although linguistically classified as a Bantu language, Swahili developed historically by borrowing a variety of words from foreign languages, particularly Arabic, around forty percent of the Swahili vocabulary consists of Arabic loan words, including the name of the language an Arabic word meaning ("of the coast"). The number of Swahili speakers is approximated to be around 200 million. In this paper, we have used two Extractive Text Summarization Techniques BERT-SUM and TF-IDF.
