Compact graphic display of phrases from the original text is among abstracting assistance features being prototyped in the TEXNET text network management system. Compaction is achieved by embedding subphrases and by enabling the user to select rapidly word by word. Phrases displayed would not necessarily be those selected for automatic indexing. (AU) |

SimSum (Simulation of Summarizing) simulates 20 real-world working steps of expert summarizers. It presents an empirically founded cognitive model of summarizing and demonstrates that human summarization strategies can be simulated. The cognitive model operationalizes the discourse processing model developed by Kintsch and van Dijk (1983). Knowledge engineering followed the KADS approach, empirical modeling used methods of grounded theory development. The observed strategies of expert summarizers have given rise to cooperating object-oriented agents communicating through dedicated blackboards. Each agent is implemented as a CLOS object with an assigned actor at the multimedia user interface. The interface is realized with Macromedia Director. Communication between CLOS and Macromedia Director is mediated by Apple Events. According to first evaluation results in an educational environment, SimSum transmits summarization know-how effectively. It is, however, not designed as a tutorial system and serves active and curious users best. We are starting its expansion to summarizing in the WWW. (AU) |

Contribution to a special issue on methods and tools for the automatic construction of hypertext. Applies the ideas from the automatic link generation research to automatic text summarisation. Using techniques for inter-document link generation, generates intra-document links between passages of a document. Based on the intra-document linkage pattern of a text, characterises the structure of the text. Applies the knowledge of text structure to do automatic text summarisation by passage extraction. Evaluates a set of 50 summaries generated using these techniques by comparing them to paragraph extracts constructed by humans. The automatic summarisation methods perform well, especially in view of the fact that the summaries generated by 2 humans for the same articles are surprisingly dissimilar. (AU) |
