Abstract

This paper presents a new extractive approach to automatic summarization based on the gist of the source text. The gist-based system, called GistSumm (GIST SUMMarizer), uses the gist as a guideline to identify and select text segments to include in the final extract. Automatically produced extracts have been evaluated under the light of gist preservation and textuality.
