Overview of MuST at the NTCIR-7 Workshop - Challenges to Multi-modal Summarization for Trend Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Workshop on Multi-modal Summarization for Trend information (MuST) has been encouraging researches on summarizing trends, which are an important first step of researches on technologies for supporting interactive and explorative information utilization. While MuST in the previous cycles provided the participants with a framework for encouraging researches by sharing the same research resources and by addressing a common theme in a broad sense, MuST at NTCIR-7 had a new aspect of an evaluation workshop by picking up some themes that many participants have been tackling and organizing those into evaluation subtasks. These two aspects of the workshop have helped to activate and push forward the researches: one shows a wide range of possibilities and visions in this field, while the other confirms the state of accomplishment. In addition, shared resources have been developed through the workshop. These activities are encouraging researches on multi-modal summarization of trend information.
