Abstract
We propose a method of revising lead sentences in a news broadcast. Unlike many other methods proposed so far, this method does not use the coreference relation of noun phrases (NPs) but rather, insertion and substitution of the phrases modifying the same head chunk in lead and other sentences. The method borrows an idea from the sentence fusion methods and is more general than those using NP coreferencing as ours includes them. We show in experiments the method was able to find semantically appropriate revisions thus demonstrating its basic feasibility. We also show that that parsing errors mainly degraded the sentential completeness such as grammaticality and redundancy.

Framework for Abstractive Summarization using Text-to-Text Generation

TL;DR: A new, ambitious framework for abstractive summarization, which aims at selecting the content of a summary not from sentences, but from an abstract representation of the source documents, based on the concept of Information Items (InIt).

A framework for multi-document abstractive summarization based on semantic role labelling

TL;DR: Results indicate that the proposed approach performs better than other summarization systems, and the integration of genetic algorithm with SRL based framework for abstractive summarizations results gives improved summarization results.

Applying Conditional Random Fields to Japanese Morphological Analysis

TL;DR: This paper shows how CRFs can be applied to situations where word boundary ambiguity exists, and confirms that CRFs offer a solution to the long-standing problems in corpus-based or statistical Japanese morphological analysis.

Japanese dependency analysis using cascaded chunking

TL;DR: A new statistical Japanese dependency parser using a cascaded chunking model that is simple and efficient, since it parses a sentence deterministically only deciding whether the current segment modifies the segment on its immediate right hand side.

Sentence Fusion for Multidocument News Summarization

TL;DR: This article introduces sentence fusion, a novel text-to-text generation technique for synthesizing common information across documents that moves the summarization field from the use of purely extractive methods to the generation of abstracts that contain sentences not found in any of the input documents and can synthesize information across sources.

Cut and paste based text summarization

TL;DR: 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.
