Abstract
In this paper we present an approach to summarizing positive and negative opinions in blog threads. We first run a sentiment analysis system and consequently pass its output through a standard LSA-based text summarization system. Further on, we evaluate our approach and present the results obtained, which we believe are promising in the context of multi-document text summarization. Finally, we discuss the main issues in applying standard text summarization techniques to the slightly different task of summarizing opinions in blog threads.

Automatic evaluation of summaries using N-gram co-occurrence statistics

The results show that automatic evaluation using unigram co-occurrences between summary pairs correlates surprising well with human evaluations, based on various statistical metrics; while direct application of the BLEU evaluation procedure does not always give good results.
Generic text summarization using relevance measure and latent semantic analysis
847 Citations2001Yihong Gong, Xin Liu
This paper proposes two generic text summarization methods that create text summaries by ranking and extracting sentences from the original documents, and uses the latent semantic analysis technique to identify semantically important sentences, for summary creations.

Information Processing & ManagementTwo uses of anaphora resolution in summarization
161 Citations2007Josef Steinberger, Massimo Poesio +2 more
A new method for using anaphoric information in Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is proposed, and its application to develop an LSA-based summarizer which achieves a significantly better performance than a system not using anphoric information.
Exploiting subjectivity classification to improve information extraction
152 Citations2005Ellen Riloff, Janyce Wiebe +1 more
An IE system that uses a subjective sentence classifier to filter its extractions is described and it is found that indiscriminately filtering extractions from subjective sentences was overly aggressive, but more selective filtering strategies improved IE precision with minimal recall loss.
