In this paper we present a complete system for automatically generating natural language abstracts of meeting conversations. This system is comprised of components relating to interpretation of the meeting documents according to a meeting ontology, transformation or content selection from that source representation to a summary representation, and generation of new summary text. In a formative user study, we compare this approach to gold-standard human abstracts and extracts to gauge the usefulness of the different summary types for browsing meeting conversations. We find that our automatically generated summaries are ranked significantly higher than human-selected extracts on coherence and usability criteria. More generally, users demonstrate a strong preference for abstract-style summaries over extracts.
