Text summarization methods have attracted much attention all the time. In recent years, deep learning has been applied to text summarization, and it turned out to be pretty effective. However, most of the current text summarization methods based on deep learning need large-scale datasets, which is difficult to achieve in practical applications. In this paper, an unsupervised extractive text summarization method based on multi-round calculation is proposed. Based on the directed graph algorithm, we change the traditional method of calculating the sentence ranking at one time to multi-round calculation, and the summary sentences are dynamically optimized after each round of calculation to better match the characteristics of the text. In this paper, experiments are carried out on four data sets, each separately containing Chinese, English, long and short texts. The experiment results show that our method has better performance than both baseline methods and other unsupervised methods and is robust on different datasets.
