A Method for Entity-Oriented Timeline Summarization
Song Hyun Ju · Journal of Guangxi Normal University · 2015
The objective of this paper is to propose a novel entity-oriented timeline summarization from multiple documents.To achieve this,this paper firstly proposes a topic model to simultaneously model the dynamic topics and the entity's participation.An efficient Gibbs sampler is also developed for this model.Then each sentence is allocated a score based on the discovered topics and the sentences with high score are selected as summaries.Experimental results on real-world datasets verify that the proposed model can not only generate summaries for entities,but also outperform the baseline model on Rouge evaluation.
