MULTIFORM SUMMARIZATION FROM PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

摘要

Specifications contain many data. It is not, however, clear which ones are the characteristic-data among them. We have reported a product ranking system using product specifications. The system extracts characteristic-data from specifications about computer systems. In this paper, we propose a method for generating sentences from the extracted characteristic-data and integrating the generated sentences and the specifications. We define sentence generation frames (SGF) and explanation sentences (ES) for sentence generation. Sentences are generated from the SGF of which the slots are filled with characteristic-data. The system integrates the generated sentences and the tables relevant to them. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our system.
