Simplification of Patent Claim Sentences for their Paraphrasing and Summarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to patent claim simplification which segments claim sentences into clausal discourse units, transforms them into complete sentences, establishes coreference relations and builds a discourse structure between discourse units. The four stages are necessary to allow for the syntactic analysis of otherwise unparsable claim sentences and their regeneration using discourse structure and coreference relations in order to ensure the production of a cohesive and coherent paraphrase/summary.

Due to the explosive growth of the world-wide web, automatictext summarization has become an essential tool for web users. In this paperwe present a novel approach for creating text summaries. Using fuzzy logicand word-net, our model extracts the most relevant sentences from an originaldocument. The approach utilizes fuzzy measures and inference on theextracted textual information from the docu...
