In this paper, we present results from a Broadcast News story segmentation system developed for the SRI NIGHTINGALE system operating on English, Arabic and Mandarin news shows to provide input to subsequent question-answering processes. Using a rule-induction algorithm with automatically extracted acoustic and lexical features, we report success rates that are competitive with state-ofthe-art s...
متن کاملAutomatic Summarization of English Broadcast News Speech
This paper proposes an automatic speech summarization technique for English. In our proposed method, a set of words maximizing a summarization score indicating appropriateness of summarization is extracted from automatically transcribed speech and concatenated to create a summary. The extraction process is performed using a Dynamic Programming (DP) technique according to a target compression ra...
