Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)

Abstract

We have introduced information extraction technique such as named entity tagging and pattern discovery to a summarization system based on sentence extraction technique, and evaluated the performance in the Document Understanding Conference 2001 (DUC-2001). We participated in the Single Document Summarization task in DUC-2001 and achieved one of the best performance in subjective evaluation of summarization results.
