Abstract
In this paper, a new multi-document summarization framework which combines rhetorical roles and corpus-based semantic analysis is proposed. The approach is able to capture the semantic and rhetorical relationships between sentences so as to combine them to produce coherent summaries. Experiments were conducted on datasets extracted from web-based news using standard evaluation methods. Results show the promise of our proposed model as compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

A probabilistic setting is used which allows us to obtain posterior distributions on these performance indicators, rather than point estimates, and is applied to the case where different methods are run on different datasets from the same source.

This work proposes a widely applicable generalization of maximum likelihood model fitting by tempered EM, based on a mixture decomposition derived from a latent class model which results in a more principled approach which has a solid foundation in statistics.
Automatic evaluation of summaries using N-gram co-occurrence statistics
1,588 Citations2003Chin-Yew Lin, Eduard Hovy
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.
