We participated in three multi-document summarization tasks at the DUC-2003 formal run and evaluated the performance of our summarization system. Our summarization system based on sentence extraction also incorporated a module to estimate similarity between sentences for multi-document summarization. The similarity information was used for selecting the representative sentence among similar sentences. We also conducted a preliminary experiment to divide document sets into two groups corresponding to the distribution of key sentences.
