Abstract

We have developed a summarization method that creates a summary suitable for the process of sifting information retrieval results. Unlike conventional methods that extract important sentences, this method constructs short phrases to reduce the burden of reading long sentences. We have developed a prototype summarization system for Japanese. Through a rather large-scale task-based experiment, the summary this system creates proved to be effective to sift IR results. This summarization method is also applicable to other languages such as English.
