- Abstract
- Summarization entails analysis of source material, selection of key information, condensation of this, and generation of a compct summary form. While there habe been many investigations into the automatic summarization of text, relatively little attention has been given to the summarization of information from structured information sources such as data of knowledge bases, despite this being a desirable capability for a number of application areas including report generation from databases (e.g. weather, financial, medical) and simulation (e.g. military, manufacturing, aconomic). After a brief introduction indicating the main elements of summarization and referring to some illustrative approaches to it, considers pecific issues in the generation of text summaries of event data, describes a system, SumGen, which selects key information from an event database by reasoning about event frequencies, frequencies of relations between events, and domain specific importance measures. Describes how Sum Gen then aggregates similar information and plans a summary presentations tailored to stereotypical users
