Title
A Symbolic Summarizer for the Update Task of TAC 2008
Abstract
NESS, RALI's summarization system for the TAC 2008's update task, brings im- provements and continuation to our last year's "all-symbolic" approach. The most distinctive feature of our system is to rely on the syntactical parser FIPS to ex- tract linguistic knowledge from source documents. NESS selects sentences based on linguistic metrics, especially tf · idf scores that measure the relevance of the newswire article sentences to the given topic. It also measures the similarity be- tween candidate sentences and the previ- ous articles already read by the user. NESS ranked well in the competition, obtaining excellent scores in linguistic quality and overall responsiveness.
