1. A computer-implemented method for generating a summary of a digital text, the method executable on a server, the server coupled to a communication network, the method comprising:

  • acquiring by the server, an indication of the digital text to be processed, the digital text comprising a plurality of sentences;

    parsing by the server, each of plurality of sentences into one or more concept phrases, each of the one or more concept phrases having at least one word;

    the parsing being executed by applying at least one parsing parameter;

    executing, by the server, a first analysis to generate a context-independent relation (CIR) value for a given concept phrase of the one or more concept phrases, the CIR value representing a first ratio of a co-inclusion of;

    (i) at least one word of the given concept phrase and (ii) at least one word of each of the remaining concept phrases of the one or more concept phrases;

    executing, by the server, a second analysis to generate a context-dependent relation (CDR) value for the given concept phrase, the CDR value representing a second ratio of;

    (i) a number of sentences where the given concept phrase co-occurs with another concept phrase of the one or more concept phrases to (ii) a total number of the plurality of sentences containing the other concept phrase within the digital text;

    determining by the server, a total CIR weight and a total CDR weight for each of the concept phrases;

    determining by the server, for each of the concept phrase, a concept meaning value, based at least in part on its respective total CIR weight and the total CDR weight;

    determining by the server, for a given sentence of the plurality of sentences, a sentence meaning value, based at least in part of the concept meaning value of each concept phrase contained in the given sentence;

    ranking by the server, each sentence based at least on the determined sentence meaning value; and
