• Perhaps you should include links to the research papers.
• When you mention the time when the paper is published, I recommend also explicitly stating the year, e.g. 1999, to give it more context and then the reader won't have to look at the references to find out.
• Paper 1: I assume "tf" means "term frequency", but what's tf.idf? I think more explanation is needed here.
• Paper 2: Posd, posp, BD, BP, D, and P are used in the equations given for "Position of sentences" but there's no elaboration on them. What do these mean?
• Paper 2: It was not clear in the Background section that the authors performed text summarization on Japanese. Hence, it felt that the "ga", "ha", "ta", and "jiritsu" came out of nowhere in the Author's Contribution section, and would be confusing for those not able to immediately recognize those as Japanese.
• There are a few grammar and spelling mistakes.
