Abstract

Multi-Sentence Compression (MSC) is the task of generating a short single sentence sum-mary from a cluster of related sentences. This paper presents an N-best reranking method based on keyphrase extraction. Compression candidates generated by a word graph-based MSC approach are reranked according to the number and relevance of keyphrases they con-tain. Both manual and automatic evaluations were performed using a dataset made of clus-ters of newswire sentences. Results show that the proposed method significantly improves the informativity of the generated compres-sions. 1
