SUMMARY:

Here is my English translation:

The great integration represented by globalization, driven by technological development, was able to raise the level of available information. The development of Computer Science, increasingly digital, generated a large amount of data, big data, with great research opportunities. All this movement also caused information overload in the legal field, through the insertion of new concepts and concerns, contaminating the relationship between work and available time, which includes not only rest, but opportunities for professional development. In the field of Digital Humanities, the Science of Law uses the technological tools of Computer Science to solve the complex social phenomenon. The analysis of the great legal data, given the need to present written reasons as a way to justify judicial, administrative or legislative decisions, in the environment of the Rule of Law, sheds light on technological tools aimed at mining texts, especially automatic text summarization, through the use of Natural Language Processing, which enables the summarization of one or more texts, generating a summary with condensed information, including in the Portuguese language. This dissertation investigates automatic summarization, through the experience of LegalSumm, a text summarizer that works with the summarization of court decisions (judgements), compares works with automatic summarizers, especially in the Portuguese language, to verify the quality of the generated summaries, with the possibility of use by Law operators with replacement of human work in the task of summarizing legal text.
