A Method for Automatically Generating a Mediatory Summary to Verify Credibility of Information on the Web

摘要

In this paper,we propose a method for mediatory summarization,which is a novel technique for facilitating users ’ assessments of the credibility of infor- mation on the Web.A mediatory sum- mary is generated by extracting a pas- sage from Web documents;this sum- mary is generated on the basis of its relevance to a given query,fairness, and density of keywords,which are fea- tures of the summaries constructed to determine the credibility of informa- tion on the Web.We demonstrate the e ectiveness of the generated me- diatory summary in comparison with the summaries of Web documents pro- duced by Web search engines.
