The impact of ASR on abstractive vs. extractive meeting summaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a complete abstractive summarizer for meeting conversations, and evaluate the usefulness of the automatically generated abstracts in a browsing task. We contrast these abstracts with extracts for use in a meeting browser and investigate the effects of manual versus ASR transcripts on both summary types.

From Extractive to Abstractive Meeting Summaries: Can It Be Done by Sentence Compression?
Most previous studies on meeting summarization have focused on extractive summarization. In this paper, we investigate if we can apply sentence compression to extractive summaries to generate abstractive summaries. We use different compression algorithms, including integer linear programming with an additional step of filler phrase detection, a noisychannel approach using Markovization formulat...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach to Multi-document Summarization of Opinions in Reviews
We present a hybrid method to generate summaries of product and services reviews by combining natural language generation and salient sentence selection techniques. Our system, STARLET-H, receives as input textual reviews with associated rated topics, and produces as output a natural language document summarizing the opinions expressed in the reviews. STARLET-H operates as a hybrid abstractive/...
متن کاملGénération de résumés par abstraction complète
This Ph.D. thesis is the result of several years of research on automatic text summarization. Three major contributions are presented in the form of published and yet to be published papers. They follow a path that moves away from extractive summarization and toward abstractive summarization. The first article describes the HexTac experiment, which was conducted to evaluate the performance of h...
متن کاملOpinosis: A Graph Based Approach to Abstractive Summarization of Highly Redundant Opinions
We present a novel graph-based summarization framework (Opinosis) that generates concise abstractive summaries of highly redundant opinions. Evaluation results on summarizing user reviews show that Opinosis summaries have better agreement with human summaries compared to the baseline extractive method. The summaries are readable, reasonably well-formed and are informative enough to convey the m...
متن کاملUsing Speech-Specific Characteristics for Automatic Speech Summarization
In this thesis we address the challenge of automatically summarizing spontaneous, multi-party spoken dialogues. The experimental hypothesis is that it is advantageous when summarizing such meeting speech to exploit a variety of speech-specific characteristics, rather than simply treating the task as text summarization with a noisy transcript. We begin by investigating which term-weighting metri...
