The final report of the second British Library abstracting project (the BLAB Project), 1990-1992, which was carried out partly at the Computing Department of Lancaster University, and partly at the Centre for Computational Linguistics, UMIST. This project built on the results of the first project, of 1985-1987, to build a system designed create abstracts automatically from given texts. (DB) |

Contribution to special issue on natural language processing and information retrieval. The automatic generation of abstracts has always been a problem. Text summarisation methods based on artificial intelligence approaches can only be made to work in very restricted domains; consequently, practical abstracting has been attempted by simple ad hoc methods. The early workers concentrated on techniques for extracting informative sentences from documents, which resulted in abstracts which were highly disjointed, due especially to the presence of dangling anaphoric references. Subsequently, work has been carried out on the twin problems of recognising anaphoric references, and constructing passages in which no anaphoric references are left dangling. The correct handling of definite noun phrases however represents an unsolved problem. The question of how to achieve proper balance in auto-abstracts is a problem which has hardly been addressed hitherto; it appears that assignment of selected textual material into 'abstract-frames' may offer a solution. However, radical progress on the construction of satisfactory abstracts now seems to require an adequate theory of text structure. (DB) |
