Analysis and Modeling of Manual Summarization of Japanese Broadcast News
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our analysis and modeling of the summarization process of Japanese broadcast news. We have studied the entire manual summarization process of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK). The staff of NHK has been making manual summarizations of news text on a daily basis since December 2000. We interviewed these professional abstractors and obtained a considerable amount of news summaries. We matched the summary with the original text, investigated the news text structure, and thereby analyzed the manual summarization process. We then developed a summarization model on which we intend to build a summarization system.

Recent advances in Japanese broadcast news transcription
In this paper, we report on language modeling and acoustic modeling studies for Japanese broadcast news speech recognition. We constructed a language model that reduces recognition errors by utilizing context-dependent readings of Japanese characters. We also introduced filled-pause modeling into the language model. To improve the model’s performance for a series of sentences spoken by one spea...

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...

In this paper, we propose a new method of automatic speech summarization for each utterance, where a set of words that maximizes a summarization score is extracted from automatic speech transcriptions. The summarization score indicates the appropriateness of summarized sentences. This extraction is achieved by using a dynamic programming technique according to a target summarization ratio. This...
