Liang Zhou, Miruna Ticrea, Eduard H. Hovy · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2005
In this paper we describe a biography summarization system using sentence classification and ideas from information retrieval. Although the individual techniques are not new, assembling and applying them to generate multi-document biographies is new. Our system was evaluated in DUC2004. It is among the top performers in task 5-short summaries focused by person questions.
