INTERACTIVE, TEXT-BASED SUMMARIZATION OF MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS

摘要

This paper describes a system for the summarization of multiple text-only news-like documents. We address two main issues: clustering of documents in order to find the main topics that should be mentioned in the multidocument summary and organization of the information in order to create a summary that presents the information in a logical way and is easy to read. The system is based on a single-document summarizer that uses text-extraction.
