Jeff Kubina, John M. Conroy, Judith D. Schlesinger · 2013
The 2013 Association for Computational Linguistics MultiLing Pilot posed a task to measure the performance of multilingual, single-document, summarization systems using a dataset derived from many Wikipedias. The objective of the pilot was to assess automatic summarization of multilingual text documents outside the news domain and the potential of using Wikipedia articles for such research. This report describes the pilot task, the dataset, the methods used to evaluate the submitted summaries, and the overall performance of each participant’s system.
