Abstract

To summarize is to reduce in complexity, and hence in length, while retaining some of the essential qualities of the original.This paper focusses on document extracts, a particular kind of computed document summary.Document extracts consisting of roughly 20% of the original cart be as informative as the full text of a document, which suggests that even shorter extracts may be useful indicative summmies.The trends in our results are in agreement with those of Ed- mundson who used a subjectively weighted combination of features as opposed to training the feature weights using a corpus.We have developed a trainable summarization program that is grounded in a sound statistical framework.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
