Beyond Generic Summarization: A Multi-faceted Hierarchical Summarization Corpus of Large Heterogeneous Data (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automated summarization has focused on ten to twenty documents, typically news articles, but could in theory analyze hundreds of documents from a wide range of sources and provide an overview to the interested reader. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for creating hierarchical summarization corpora from large, heterogeneous document collections by crowdsourcing relevant content and asking trained annotators to order the relevant information hierarchically. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used to develop and evaluate hierarchical summarization systems. |
