Summarisation Through Discourse Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a method to obtain summaries focussed on chosen characters of a free text. Summaries are extracted from discourse structures, which resemble rhetorical trees. They are obtained by exploiting cohesion and coherence properties of the text. Evaluation intends to evidence the contribution of each module in the final result.

Summarisation is traditionally used to produce summaries of the textual contents of documents. In this paper, it is argued that summarisation methods can also be applied to the logical structure of XML documents. Structure summarisation selects the most important elements of the logical structure and ensures that the user’s attention is focused towards sections, subsections, etc. that are belie...
متن کاملModelling Compression with Discourse Constraints
Sentence compression holds promise for many applications ranging from summarisation to subtitle generation. The task is typically performed on isolated sentences without taking the surrounding context into account, even though most applications would operate over entire documents. In this paper we present a discourse informed model which is capable of producing document compressions that are co...
متن کاملSubtopic annotation and automatic segmentation for news texts in Brazilian Portuguese
Subtopic segmentation aims to break documents into subtopical text passages, which develop a main topic in a text. Being capable of automatically detecting subtopics is very useful for several Natural Language Processing applications. For instance, in automatic summarisation, having the subtopics at hand enables the production of summaries with good subtopic coverage. Given the usefulness of su...
