Abstract

Presents a system for summarizing quantitative data in natural language, focusing on the use of a corpus of basketball game summaries, drawn from online news services, to empirically shape the system design and to evaluate the approach. Initial corpus analysis revealed characteristics of textual summaries that challenge the capabilities of current language generation systems. A revision based corpus analysis was used to identify and encode the revision rules of the system. Presents a quantitative evaluation, using several test corpora, to measure the robustness of the new revision based model

Abstract

Presents a method for the automated analysis and comprehension of foreign affairs news produced by a Chinese news agency. Notes that the development of the method was prededed by a study of the structuring rules of the news. Describes how an abstract of the news story is produced automatically from the analysis. Stresses the main aim of the work which is to use specch act theory to analyse and classify sentences

Abstract

Description of a system that performs domain-independent automatic condensation of news from a large commercial news service encompassing 41 different publications. This system was evaluated against a system that condensed the same articles using only the first portions of the texts (the löead), up to the target length of the summaries. 3 lengths of articles were evaluated for 250 documents by both systems, totalling 1.500 suitability judgements in all. The lead-based summaries outperformed the 'intelligent' summaries significantly, achieving acceptability ratings of over 90%, compared to 74,7%

Abstract

Describes the design and implementation of a text extraction tool, NEWS_EXT, which aztomatically produces summaries from news reports by extracting sentences to form indicative abstracts. Selection of sentences is based on sentence importance, measured by means of sentence scoring or simple linguistic analysis of sentence structure. Tests were conducted on 4 approaches for the functioning of the NEWS_EXT system; extraction by keyword frequency; extraction by title keywords; extraction by location; and extraction by indicative phrase. Reports results of a study to compare the results of the application of NEWS_EXT with manually produced extracts; using relevance as the criterion for effectiveness. 48 newspaper articles were assessed (The Straits Times, International Herald Tribune, Asian Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times). The evaluation was conducted in 2 stages: stage 1 involving abstracts produced manually by 2 human experts; stage 2 involving the generation of abstracts using NEWS_EXT. Results of each of the 4 approaches were compared with the human produced abstracts, where the title and location approaches were found to give the best results for both local and foreign news. Reports plans to refine and enhance NEWS_EXT and incorporate it as a module within a larger newspaper clipping system
