Abstract

According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for generating a summary of a document. In this solution, feature information of pages comprised in a document is extracted, which characterizes at least one type of content contained in each page. Respective importance of the pages is determined at least based on the extracted feature information. A summary of the document is generated for the document by selecting a predetermined number of pages less than the number of the pages based on the respective importance. Through the solution, instead of providing all the pages, pages containing important content may be determined automatically to serve as the summary of the document. This summary allows the user to learn quickly main content of the document, shorten the time consumed in browsing all documents and/or facilitate location of a document of interest as soon as possible.
