Generating Update Summaries with Spreading Activation
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the update summaries task of the Text Analysis Conference 2008 we have implemented a novel summarization technique based on query expansion with encyclopedic knowledge and activation spreading in a large document graph. We have also experimented with sentence compression for building the summaries. The results are average – ranked 27 out of 58 for responsiveness in manual evaluation – but we find the approach promising.

Generating Update Summaries for DUC 2007
Update summaries as defined for the new DUC 2007 task deliver focused information to a user who has already read a set of older documents covering the same topic. In this paper, we show how to generate this kind of summary from the same data structure—fuzzy coreference cluster graphs—as all other generic and focused multi-document summaries. Our system ERSS 2007 implementing this algorithm also...
متن کاملA Graph Based Query Focused Multi-Document Summarization
A user’s information need, normally represented as a search query, can be satisfied by creating a query focused coherent and readable summary, by fusing the relevant parts of information from multiple documents. While aggregating the information from multiple documents, the quality of the summary is improved by eliminating redundant information from the document set. In this paper, we focus on ...

متن کاملModels of EFL Learners’ Vocabulary Development: Spreading Activation vs. Hierarchical Network Model
Semantic network approaches view organization or representation of internal lexicon in the form of either spreading or hierarchical system identified, respectively, as Spreading Activation Model (SAM) and Hi- erarchical Network Model (HNM). However, the validity of either model is amongst the intact issues in the literature which can be studied through basing the instruction compatible wi...

PolyU has participated in both the two tasks in the TAC 2009 summarization track, including the update summarization task and the automatically evaluating summaries of peers (AESOP) task. The update summarization task is to generate short fluent multi-document summaries of news articles. For each topic, a topic statement and two chronologically ordered newswire document sets are given. The task...
