Better Twitter Summaries?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an approach to improve summaries for a collection of Twitter posts created using the Phrase Reinforcement (PR) Algorithm (Sharifi et al., 2010a). The PR algorithm often generates summaries with excess text and noisy speech. We parse these summaries using a dependency parser and use the dependencies to eliminate some of the excess text and build better-formed summaries. We compare the results to those obtained using the PR Algorithm.

A Participant-based Approach for Event Summarization Using Twitter Streams
Twitter offers an unprecedented advantage on live reporting of the events happening around the world. However, summarizing the Twitter event has been a challenging task that was not fully explored in the past.

متن کاملPost Summarization of Microblogs of Sporting Events
Every day 645 million Twitter users generate approximately 58 million tweets. This motivates the question if it is possible to generate a summary of events from this rich set of tweets only. Key challenges in post summarization from microblog posts include circumnavigating spam and conversational posts. In this study, we present a novel technique called lexi-temporal clustering (LTC), which ide...

The primary view of the Twitter social network service for most users is the timeline, a heterogenous, reversechronological list of posts from all connected authors. Previous tweet ranking and summarisation work has heavily relied on retweets as a gold standard for evaluation. This paper first argues that this is unsatisfactory, since retweets only account for certain kinds of post relevance. T...
متن کاملMultiple Post Microblog Summarization
The use of microblogs such as Twitter has increased incredibly over the past few years. Because of the public nature and sheer volume of text from these constantly changing microblogs, it is often difficult to fully understand what is being said about various topics. A method for summarizing popular topics of microblogs has been proposed but its summaries are only one sentence or phrase in leng...
متن کاملA Preliminary Study of Tweet Summarization using Information Extraction
Although the ideal length of summaries differs greatly from topic to topic on Twitter, previous work has only generated summaries of a pre-fixed length. In this paper, we propose an event-graph based method using information extraction techniques that is able to create summaries of variable length for different topics. In particular, we extend the Pageranklike ranking algorithm from previous wo...
