Available values:

Name	Description
Abstractive	Generates a summary by understanding the context of the original text and rephrasing it in a new, concise form. The AI essentially “writes” a new summary based on its understanding, which may include new sentences that were not present in the original text.
Extractive	Selects and extracts key sentences or phrases from the original text. The AI identifies the most important parts of the content and combines them into a summary without altering the original wording.

Remarks

SummarizeBehavior supports the following summarization modes:

1. Abstractive Summarization

   Generates a summary by understanding the context of the original text and rephrasing it in a new, concise form. The AI essentially “writes” a new summary based on its understanding, which may include new sentences that were not present in the original text.

2. Extractive Summarization

   Selects and extracts key sentences or phrases from the original text. The AI identifies the most important parts of the content and combines them into a summary without altering the original wording.

The following code snippet registers a SummarizeBehavior and assigns it to a MemoEdit control:

C#

using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms;

//...
public partial class MemoEdit : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
    public MemoEdit() {
        InitializeComponent();
        behaviorManager1.Attach<SummarizeBehavior>(memoEdit1, behavior => {
            behavior.Properties.SummarizationMode = SummarizationMode.Extractive;
        });
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration
Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

'...
Partial Public Class MemoEdit
    Inherits DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        behaviorManager1.Attach(Of SummarizeBehavior)(memoEdit1, Sub(behavior)
            behavior.Properties.SummarizationMode = SummarizationMode.Extractive
        End Sub)
    End Sub
End Class
