Abstract: The paper deals with a new approach to importance evaluation of descriptive texts developed in the framework of SUSY, an experimental system in the domain of text summarization. The problem of taking into account the reader's goals in evaluating importance of different parts of a text is first analyzed. A solution to the design of a goal interpreter capable of computing a quantitative measure of the relevance degree of a piece of text according to a given goal is then proposed, and an example of goal interpreter operation is provided.
