Abstract

In this paper we present a system that creates a headline summary for a newspaper article We present an approach that constructs a headline by selecting the most important portion of the text, then reducing it using linguistic compression techniques The compression is grammatical and retains the most important pieces of information, leaving it readable In addition, we present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
