Abstract

This paper proposes the FULL-COVERAGE summarizer:an efficient, information retrieval oriented method to extractnon-redundant sentences from text for summarization purposes.Our method leverages existing Information Retrievaltechnology by extracting key-sentences on the premise thatthe relevance of a sentence is proportional to its similarityto the whole document. We show that our method can producesentence-based summaries that are up to 78% smallerthan the original text with only 3% loss in retrieval performance.
