Invited talk: Constraint-based Sentence Compression: An Integer Programming Approach
Mirella Lapata · Utrecht University Repository (Utrecht University) · 2009
In this talk we introduce the sentence compression task, which can be viewed as producing a summary of a single sentence. An ideal compression algorithm should produce a shorter version of an original sentence that retains the most important information while remaining grammatical. The task has an immediate impact on several applications ranging from document summarisation to audio scanning devices for the blind and caption generation.
