Evaluating Summaries for Multiple Documents in an Interactive Environment |
|
PDF |
|
While most people have a clear idea of what a single document summary should look like, this is not immediately obvious for a multidocument summary. There are many new questions to answer concerning the amount of documents to be summarized, the type of documents, the kind of summary that should be generated, the way the summary gets presented to the user, etc. The many approaches possible to multi-document summarization makes evaluation especially difficult. In this paper we will describe an approach to multidocument summarization and report work on an evaluation method for this particular system (AU) |

Background: most of the recent research into abstracts conducted by the information science (IS) community has had little practical implication in terms of improvement and quality. A possible explanation of this is the lack of connection with the real problems that the poor quality of abstracts may pose in the 'real' context of researchers accessing information. Purpose: the types of problem abstracts may pose for potential users have been studied, and then classified and compared with current IS research into the quality of abstracts. Method: 62 interviews were held with researchers from six European universities to ascertain the opinions of potential users. These participants commented on a set of database abstracts in the areas of Education and Agriculture. Results: the participants pointed out different types of problem which were classified under the following headings: terminology, over-condensation, lack and excess of information, expectations and coherence, structure, register and layout. Conclusion: the problems described were at variance with those commonly dealt with in the literature on the subject, thus suggesting new areas of research. (AU) |
