Abstract

We present an automatic multi-document summarization system for Dutch based on the MEAD system. We focus on redundancy detection, an essential ingredient of multi-document summarization. We introduce a semantic overlap detection tool, which goes beyond simple string matching. Our results so far do not confirm our expectation that this tool would outperform the other tested methods.
