Leveraging DUC

Work at the University of Ottawa on text summarization in connection with the Document Understanding Conference 2006 advanced along two tracks. We continued to refine and expand the corpus of SCU-marked documents which we created last year from materials that conference participants received from the group at Columbia University. We also developed an internal manual summary evaluation scheme ba...

Description of SQUASH, the SFU Question Answering Summary Handler for the DUC-2006 Summarization Task

This paper describes the design of the SQUASH system, the SFU Question Answering Summary Handler, developed by members of the Natural Language Lab from the SFU School of Computing Science in order to participate in the 2006 Document Understanding Conference (DUC-2006) summarization task. The SQUASH system for DUC-2006 built upon the SQUASH system that was built for the last year’s DUC-2005 comp...

A 10µW digital signal processor with adaptive-SNR monitoring for a sub-1V digital hearing aid

An ultra low-power digital signal processor (DSP) is proposed for the digital hearing aid. The DSP has a SNR monitor to vary its internal clock frequency in accordance with the input signal level. Digital filters use hardwired barrel shifters in place of multipliers, and a parameter ROM provides filter parameters. The clock generator consumes only 1 μW at sub-1V. The DSP consumes only 10 μW at ...

Peking University at DUC 2006

This paper has described a summary extraction system implemented by Peking University at DUC 2006. The system follows the assumption that there must exist some sentences which can summarize the topic briefly. Then our system depends on various features to judge whether a sentence is appropriately included in the summary. Our results are satisfying in the evaluations including linguistic quality...
