Abstract

This paper proposes a method for extracting key paragraph for multi-document summarization based on distinction between a topic and an event. A topic and an event are identified using a simple criterion called domain dependency of words. The method was tested on the TDT1 corpus which has been developed by the TDT Pilot Study and the result can be regarded as promising the idea of domain dependency of words effectively employed.
