Method – “Quantile regression was used....” This sentence is not clear in the Abstract. Be more specific. We have changed the sentence to read: “Quantile regression of NC versus age in males and females was used Be more specific. We have changed the sentence to read: “Quantile regression of NC versus age in males and females was used to obtain NC percentiles.” Abstract, Method – Indicate how th...

In this paper, we propose a cluster-adjacency based method to order sentences for multi-document summarization tasks. Given a group of sentences to be organized into a summary, each sentence was mapped to a theme in source documents by a semi-supervised classification method, and adjacency of pairs of sentences is learned from source documents based on adjacency of clusters they belong to. Then...

In this paper, we define a new type of summary for sentiment analysis: a singlesentence summary that consists of a supporting sentence that conveys the overall sentiment of a review as well as a convincing reason for this sentiment. We present a system for extracting supporting sentences from online product reviews, based on a simple and unsupervised method. We design a novel comparative evalua...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to automatic generation of aspect-oriented summaries from multiple documents. We first develop an event-aspect LDA model to cluster sentences into aspects. We then use extended LexRank algorithm to rank the sentences in each cluster. We use Integer Linear Programming for sentence selection. Key features of our method include automatic grouping of seman...

In this paper, we propose a novel context inference-based approach for sentences ordering in mult i-document summarization application. Our method first detects whether or not two summarizat ion sentences should be adjacent according to the similarity between one summarizat ion sentence and the context of the other one, and then it computes the reliability of the adjacent summarization sentence...

In order to boost the translation quality of corpus-based MT systems for speech translation, the technique of splitting an input sentence appears promising. In previous research, many methods used N-gram clues to split sentences. In this paper, to supplement N-gram based splitting methods, we introduce another clue using sentence similarity based on edit-distance. In our splitting method, we ge...
