Focused Meeting Summarization via Unsupervised Relation Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel unsupervised framework for focused meeting summarization that views the problem as an instance of relation extraction. We adapt an existing in-domain relation learner (Chen et al., 2011) by exploiting a set of task-specific constraints and features. We evaluate the approach on a decision summarization task and show that it outperforms unsupervised utterance-level extractive summarization baselines as well as an existing generic relation-extraction-based summarization method. Moreover, our approach produces summaries competitive with those generated by supervised methods in terms of the standard ROUGE score.

Clusterrank: a graph based method for meeting summarization
This paper presents an unsupervised, graph based approach for extractive summarization of meetings. Graph based methods such as TextRank have been used for sentence extraction from news articles. These methods model text as a graph with sentences as nodes and edges based on word overlap. A sentence node is then ranked according to its similarity with other nodes. The spontaneous speech in meeti...
متن کاملData-driven Paraphrasing and Stylistic Harmonization
This thesis proposal outlines the use of unsupervised data-driven methods for paraphrasing tasks. We motivate the development of knowledge-free methods at the guiding use case of multi-document summarization, which requires a domain-adaptable system for both the detection and generation of sentential paraphrases. First, we define a number of guiding research questions that will be addressed in ...
متن کاملLeveraging sentence weights in a concept-based optimization framework for extractive meeting summarization
We adopt an unsupervised concept-based global optimization framework for extractive meeting summarization, where a subset of sentences is selected to cover as many important concepts as possible. We propose to leverage sentence importance weights in this model. Three ways are introduced to combine the sentence weights within the concept-based optimization framework: selecting sentences for conc...
متن کاملReview Paper on Named Entity Recognition and Attribute Extraction using Machine Learning
Named entity recognition (NER) is a subsidiary task under information extraction that aims at locating and classifying named entities in the text provided into pre-defined categories such as the names of people, locations, organizations, etc. In focused NER, once the entities are recognized we further aim at finding the most important named entities among all the others in a document, which we ...
