In this work, a general theoretical framework for extractive summarization is proposed—the Attentional Extractive Summarization framework. Although abstractive approaches are generally used in text today, methods can be especially suitable some applications, and they help with other tasks such as Text Classification, Question Answering, Information Extraction. The proposed approach based on the...

We present a new framework for evaluating extractive summarizers, which is based on a principled representation as optimization problem. We prove that every extractive summarizer can be decomposed into an objective function and an optimization technique. We perform a comparative analysis and evaluation of several objective functions embedded in wellknown summarizers regarding their correlation ...

This paper presents a method for extractive multi-document summarization that explores a two-phase clustering approach. First, sentences are clustered by similarity, and one sentence per cluster is selected, to reduce redundancy. Then, in order to group them according to topics, those sentences are clustered considering the collection of keywords that represent the topics in the set of texts. E...

The macroscopical characters of the roots, physical constant values, extractive values, colour, consistency and extractive values with different solvents, behaviour on treatment with different chemical reagents, fluorescence characters of liquid extracts and root powder after treatment with different chemical reagents under ultraviolet light of the powdered roots of Tragia involucrata Linn. (Fa...

To analyze the limitations and the future directions of the extractive summarization paradigm, this paper proposes an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation to obtain extractive oracle summaries in terms of ROUGEn. We also propose an algorithm that enumerates all of the oracle summaries for a set of reference summaries to exploit F-measures that evaluate which system summaries contain how...

Pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical studies of Triphala churnam were carried out. The churnam of triphala consists of equal quantities of deseeded fruits of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellerica and Emblica officinalis. Triphala is exclusively used in more than 200 drug formulations in Indian system of Medicine. The present study involved the pharmacognostical evaluation of Triph...

Extractive reserves constitute an innovative approach to match conservation and development objectives, which were originally envisaged as part of a land struggle by forest dwellers in Brazil. In spite of the idea's popularity and the attempts to apply the concept to different tropical regions, there has been little analysis of the combined conservation and development performance of extractive...

The role of the peritrophic envelope in the non-absorption of three allelochemicals ingested by generalist grasshoppers was examined. This study tested the hypothesis that the association of lipophilic and amphiphilic allelochemicals with lipid aggregates (mixed micelles) reduces their permeability through the peritrophic envelope, a process similar to extractive ultrafiltration. Each of three ...

−− The aim of this work is to simulate and analyze an extractive distillation process (extractive distillation and recovery columns) for the separation of Tetrahydrofuran (THF)-Water azeotropic mixture using Aspen Plus® and Aspen Split simulators. Calculation of vapor liquid equilibrium of Tetrahydrofuran–Water–Entrainer system was done using the NRTL model, which binary interaction parameters ...

Extractive text summarization is the process of selecting relevant sentences from a collection of documents, perhaps only a single document, and arranging such sentences in a purposeful way to form a summary of this collection. The question arises just how good extractive summarization can ever be. Without generating language to express the gist of a text – its abstract – can we expect to make ...
