چکیده

Comparative News Summarization aims to highlight the commonalities and differences between two comparable news topics. In this study, we propose a novel approach to generating comparative news summaries. We formulate the task as an optimization problem of selecting proper sentences to maximize the comparativeness within the summary and the representativeness to both news topics. We consider semantic-related cross-topic concept pairs as comparative evidences, and consider topic-related concepts as representative evidences. The optimization problem is addressed by using a linear programming model. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.

Sentence Compression for Dutch Using Integer Linear Programming

Sentence compression is a valuable task in the framework of text summarization. In this paper we compress sentences from news articles taken from Dutch and Flemish newspapers using an integer linear programming approach. We rely on the Alpino parser available for Dutch and on the Latent Words Language Model. We demonstrate that the integer linear programming approach yields good results for com...

Automatic Generation of Story Highlights

In this paper we present a joint content selection and compression model for single-document summarization. The model operates over a phrase-based representation of the source document which we obtain by merging information from PCFG parse trees and dependency graphs. Using an integer linear programming formulation, the model learns to select and combine phrases subject to length, coverage and ...

A General Optimization Framework for Multi-Document Summarization Using Genetic Algorithms and Swarm Intelligence

Extracting summaries via integer linear programming and submodularity are popular and successful techniques in extractive multi-document summarization. However, many interesting optimization objectives are neither submodular nor factorizable into an integer linear program. We address this issue and present a general optimization framework where any function of input documents and a system summa...
