A Symbolic Summarizer for the Update Task of TAC 2008
نویسندگان
چکیده
NESS, RALI’s summarization system for the TAC 2008’s update task, brings improvements and continuation to our last year’s “all-symbolic” approach. The most distinctive feature of our system is to rely on the syntactical parser FIPS to extract linguistic knowledge from source documents. NESS selects sentences based on linguistic metrics, especially tf · idf scores that measure the relevance of the newswire article sentences to the given topic. It also measures the similarity between candidate sentences and the previous articles already read by the user. NESS ranked well in the competition, obtaining excellent scores in linguistic quality and overall responsiveness.

Sentence Position revisited: A robust light-weight Update Summarization baseline Algorithm
In this paper, we describe a sentence position based summarizer that is built based on a sentence position policy, created from the evaluation testbed of recent summarization tasks at Document Understanding Conferences (DUC). We show that the summarizer thus built is able to outperform most systems participating in task focused summarization evaluations at Text Analysis Conferences (TAC) 2008. ...
متن کاملUpdate Summarizer Using MMR Approach
A Huge amount of information is present on the WWW and lot is being added to it constantly. In this context, a query specific text summarization is one of the solutions to solve this problem. In this paper we apply MMR to accomplish the task of update summary generation.
متن کاملSUTLER: Update Summarizer Based on Latent Topics
This paper deals with our past and recent research in text summarization. We went from single-document summarization through multidocument summarization to update summarization. We describe the development of our summarizer which is based on latent semantic analysis (LSA). The classical LSA-based summarization model was improved by Iterative Residual Rescaling. We propose the update summarizati...
متن کاملDescription of the Google update summarizer at TAC-2011
In this paper we describe the system with which we have participated at TAC-2011 in the task of update summarization. This is our first participation in TAC, and we have started exploring the use of topic models for summarization. We have participated with a lightweight system that is an extension of TOPICSUM (Haghighi and Vanderwende, 2009), which we are currently extending for update summariz...
متن کاملThe LIA Update Summarization Systems at TAC 2008 (DRAFT)
For the third participation of the LIA to the DUC–TAC conferences, two summarizers were developed. The first is based on the SMMR sentence scoring algorithm described in (Boudin et al., 2008). The second summarizer is a fusion between two sentence scoring methods: SMMR and a variable length insertion gap n-term model (Favre et al., 2006; Boudin et al., 2007). We compare our two summarizers usin...
