ABSTRACT
In order to produce a good summary, one has to identify the most relevant portions of a given text. We describe in this paper a method for automatically training topic signatures-sets of related words, with associated weights, organized around head topics and illustrate with signatures we created with 6,194 TREC collection texts over 4 selected topics. We describe the possible integration of topic signatures with outologies and its evaluaton on an automated text summarization system.

Topic-driven reader comments summarization
CIKM '12: Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementReaders of a news article often read its comments contributed by other readers. By reading comments, readers obtain not only complementary information about this news article but also the opinions from other readers. However, the existing ranking ...
Extractive text summarization using clustering-based topic modeling
AbstractText summarization is the process of converting the input document into a short form, provided that it preserves the overall meaning associated with it. Primarily, text summarization is achieved in two ways, i.e., abstractive and extractive. ...
Topic analysis for topic-focused multi-document summarization
CIKM '09: Proceedings of the 18th ACM conference on Information and knowledge managementTopic-focused multi-document summarization has been a challenging task because the created summary is required to be biased to the given topic or query. Existing methods consider the given topic as a single coarse unit and then directly incorporate the ...
