Abstract

Describes the abstracting assistance features being prototyped in the TEXNET text network management system. Sentence weighting methods include: weithing negatively or positively on the stems in a selected passage; weighting on general lists of cue words, adjusting weights of selected segments; and weighting of occurrence of frequent stems. The user may adjust a number of parameters: the minimum strength of extracts; the threshold for frequent word/stems and the amount sentence weight is to be adjusted for each weighting type

Abstract: Describes computerized tools for computer assisted abstracting. FlipPhr is a Microsoft Windows application program that rearranges (flips) phrases or other expressions in accordance with rules in a grammar. The flipping may be invoked with a single keystroke from within various Windows application programs that allow cutting and pasting of text. The user may modify the grammar to provide for different kinds of flipping

Abstract

Experimental subjects wrote abstracts of an article using a simplified version of the TEXNET abstracting assistance software. In addition to the fulltext, the 35 subjects were presented with either keywords or phrases extracted automatically. The resulting abstracts, and the times taken, were recorded automatically; some additional information was gathered by oral questionnaire. Results showed considerable variation among subjects, but 37% found the keywords or phrases quite or very useful in writing their abstracts. Statistical analysis failed to support deveral hypothesised relations; phrases were not viewed as significantly more helpful than keywords; and abstracting experience did not correlate with originality of wording, approximation of the author abstract, or greater conciseness. Results also suggested possible modifications to the software
