Abstract

The objective of the Hughes Trainable Text Skimmer (TTS) Project is to create text skimming software that: (1) can be easily re-configured for new applications, (2) improves its performance with use, and (3) is fast enough to process several megabytes of text per day. The TTS-MUC4 system is our second full-scale prototype. It is an adaptation of the TTS-MUC3 system [1] [2], which constituted our first-full scale text skimming prototype.
