	Automatic summarization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In general, abstraction can condense a text more strongly than extraction, but the programs that can do this are harder to develop as they require the use of natural language generation technology, which itself is a growing field.
		There are different types of summaries depending what the summarization program focuses on to make the summary of the text, for example generic summaries or query relevant summaries (sometimes called query-biased summaries).
		Some systems will generate a summary based on a single source document, while others can use multiple source documents (for example, a cluster of news stories on the same topic).

	Introduction to 'Text Summarization' workshop, Dagstuhl 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Whereas informative summaries are based on methods which consider the whole text as source data for deriving summaries (whatever the methods used), indicative summaries would probably have to be based on those parts of texts which state the ‘topics’ (i.e.
		The summaries of prosecuting and defending lawyers are necessarily and deliberately evaluative (and normally selective); the summaries of judges when speaking to juries are supposedly neutral, non-evaluative, but equally selective.
		While the translating of a text is not as such a summary, it can be argued that what the recipients of translations often need is not a translation of the whole text but something which conveys the basic message (essence) of the text in the unknown language.

	Bibliography
		Various elements of text structure are immediately desirable from a text-relationship maps, for example, the importance of a paragraph might be related to the number of incident branches of the corresponding node on the map, or a central node might then be characterized as one with a large number of associated paragraphs.
		The summaries are built using scoring which is based on chain length and the extraction of significant sentences is based on heuristics using chain distribution, for example, choose the sentence that contains the first appearance of a chain member in the text.
		Summaries are generated according to pipelined processes of selection and organization, so first the knowledge base is pruned and then the discourse of the summary is organized according to the resulting knowledge base, the communicative goal and the central proposition.

	Writing Summaries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Summaries are shorter (at least 60% shorter) than the original text--they omit the original text's "examples, asides, analogies, and rhetorical strategies: (Holt Handbook, 5th edition).
		Summaries differ from paraphrases--paraphrases more closely follow the original text's presentation (they still use your words, but they are longer than summaries).
		Summaries normally are written in your own words--they do not contain extended quotes or paraphrases.

		As a text is processed, instances of concepts mentioned in a text are added to the domain model, populating it to become a text-, or discourse-, specific model.
		The summaries and the topic description (along with some source documents for control) are passed to a judge who reads the summaries passes relevance judgments on them with respect to the topic.
		The summaries and the full documents from which they were generated are given to a judge who reads the summaries and documents and passes a binary `goodness' judgment on the summaries, with no prior guidelines specifying what constitutes a good summary.

	RHETORICAL MODELS OF UNDERSTANDING by Claire Kramsch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Texts attempt to position their readers in quite specific ways by evoking worlds, mental representations, or schemata that they assume are shared between them and their readers (Kress, 1988:107).
		Summary 4 clearly focusses on the notion of personal struggle, experienced by the father in Vietnam and in the U.S., a theme illustrated in the story by the metaphor of the fighting crickets.
		In summary 4, for example, the sentence "He struggles to find a balance between cultural values," not only expresses the central theme of the summary, but is also placed in a central position in the text.

	Creating Generic Text Summaries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Abstract: In this paper, we propose two generic text summarization methods that create text summaries by ranking and extracting sentences from the original documents.
		This is an attempt to create a summary with a wider coverage of the document's main content and less redundancy.
		Performance evaluations on the two summarization methods are conducted by comparing their summarization outputs with the manual summaries generated by three independent human evaluators.

		At a high level, their goal is the same: find those portion(s) of the given text(s) that are relevant to the user’s task, and deliver that information to the user in the form most useful for further (human or machine) processing.
		In contrast, Text Summarization does not necessarily start with a predefined set of criteria of interest; when it does, they are not specified as a template, but at a higher granularity (i.e., expressed in keywords or even whole paragraphs), and hence are less computationally precise.
		Given a newspaper text, its task was to recognize which of approximately seven event templates (earthquake, visit of state, terrorism event, etc.) to employ, and then to fill in the template’s slots with relevant information.
