Syntactic Sentence Compression: Facilitating Web Browsing on Mobile Devices

Kamal Krishna Sarkar · 2008

Browsing on a mobile device becomes tedious for a user because a very few number of hits can be presented to the user though its limited display area at a time and users have to scroll a lot to see search hits on the screen. Traditionally, the search engines generate the initial search results in the form of text snippets. In this paper, we present a syntactic sentence compression method, which eliminates less important and redundant constituents from text snippets for making room for displaying more number of search results in a given limited display area and facilitating information access to limited display area devices.
