Abstract
Very small screens, such as the LCD displays on cellular telephones, pose unique problems for the display of textual messages. This paper presents a collection of techniques used to compact email text for display on mobile devices. These techniques range from simple string manipulations to more sophisticated linguistic processing. The techniques have been implemented in a commercial product for four languages: English, French, German and Spanish.

A Bayesian Approach to Filtering Junk E-Mail
1,153 Citations1998Mehran Sahami, Susan Dumais +2 more
This work examines methods for the automated construction of filters to eliminate such unwanted messages from a user’s mail stream, and shows the efficacy of such filters in a real world usage scenario, arguing that this technology is mature enough for deployment.
Statistics-Based Summarization - Step One: Sentence Compression
405 Citations2000Kevin Knight, Daniel Marcu
This paper focuses on sentence compression, a simpler version of this larger challenge, and aims to achieve two goals simultaneously: the compressions should be grammatical, and they should retain the most important pieces of information.
Headline generation based on statistical translation
251 Citations2000Michele Banko, Vibhu O. Mittal +1 more
This paper presents results on experiments using this approach, in which statistical models of the term selection and term ordering are jointly applied to produce summaries in a style learned from a training corpus.
Cut and paste based text summarization
224 Citations2000Hongyan Jing, Kathleen McKeown
This work includes a statistically based sentence decomposition program that identifies where the phrases of a summary originate in the original document, producing an aligned corpus of summaries and articles which is used to develop the summarizer.
arXiv (Cornell University)Automatic summarising: factors and directions
102 Citations1998Karen Spärck Jones
It is suggested that progress with automatic summarising demands a better research methodology and a carefully focussed research strategy, and that a nearer-term strategy c on shallow, but not surface, text analysis and on indicative summarising is required.
Information Processing & ManagementGenerating concise natural language summaries
76 Citations1995Kathleen McKeown, Jacques Robin +1 more
An approach to summary generation that opportunistically folds information from multiple facts into a single sentence using concise linguistic constructions, which allows the construction of concise summaries, containing complex sentences that pack in information.
Producing Intelligent Telegraphic Text Reduction to provide an Audio Scanning Service for the Blind
74 Citations1998Gregory Grefenstette
A third approach to text reduction is presented, producing shortened telegraphic versions of all input sentences, which shares the domain-independence advantage of the sentence selection and the one-pass advantage of information extraction template filling.

A game machine which can be played by two or more players includes an elongated box-like housing in which a game ball can be inserted and portions which can move within these spaces so as to cause suitable manipulations of the game ball, including dribbling, when contacted by the noted projector element and activator element portions.
