LCC's GISTexter at DUC 2007: Machine Reading for Update Summarization
Andrew Hickl, Kirk E Roberts, Finley Lăcătuşu · 2007
In this paper, we describe Language Computer Corporation’s GISTEXTER question-focused and update-based multidocument summarization (MDS) systems. We show that by using a machine reading (MR) framework in order to construct representations of the knowledge inferable from a text collection, we were able to create coherent sets of “update” summaries that were likely to contain “new ” information that could not be inferred from any previously considered document. Details of our DUC 2007 Main Task submission are provided as well. 1
