Phrase-based Compressive Cross-Language Summarization
Jin-Ge Yao, Xiaojun Wan, Jianguo Xiao · 2015
The task of cross-language document summarization is to create a summary in a target language from documents in a different source language.Previous methods only involve direct extraction of automatically translated sentences from the original documents.Inspired by phrasebased machine translation, we propose a phrase-based model to simultaneously perform sentence scoring, extraction and compression.We design a greedy algorithm to approximately optimize the score function.Experimental results show that our methods outperform the state-of-theart extractive systems while maintaining similar grammatical quality.
