Abstract

This paper describes a fully implemented system for fusing related news stories into a single comprehensive description of an event. The basic components and the underlying algorithm are explained. The system uses a computationally feasible and robust notion of entailment for comparing information stemming from different documents. We discuss the issue of evaluating document fusion and provide some preliminary results.
