In this paper, we discuss about multi-document summarization that differs from the single one in which the issues of compression, speed, redundancy and passage selection are critical in the formation of useful summaries. Since the number and variety of online medical news make them difficult for experts in the medical field to read all of the medical news, an automatic multi-document summarization can be useful for easy study of information on the web. Hence we propose a new approach based on machine learning meta-learner algorithm called AdaBoost that is used for summarization. We treat a document as a set of sentences, and the learning algorithm must learn to classify as positive or negative examples of sentences based on the score of the sentences. For this learning task, we apply AdaBoost meta-learning algorithm where a C4.5 decision tree has been chosen as the base learner. In our experiment, we use 450 pieces of news that are downloaded from different medical websites. Then we compare our results with some existing approaches.展开更多

Considering that cluster-based methods proposed by other researchers tend to ignore informativeness of words when they generate summaries, our proposed framework takes relevance, diversity, informativeness and length constraint of sentences into consideration comprehensively. We apply Density Peaks Clustering （DPC） to get relevance scores and diversity scores of sentences simultaneously. Our framework produces the best performance on DUC2004, 0.396 of ROUGE-1 score, 0.094 of ROUGE-2 score and 0.143 of ROUGE-SU4 which outperforms a series of popular baselines, such as DUC Best, FGB [7], and BSTM [10].展开更多

The current focus is on dissertation abstracts in the field of sociology. The summarization method uses macro-level and micro-level discourse structure to identify important information that can be extracted from dissertation abstracts, and then uses a variable-based framework to integrate and organize extracted information across dissertation abstracts. This framework focuses more on research concepts and their research relationships found in sociology dissertation abstracts and has a hierarchical structure. A taxonomy is constructed to support the summarization process in two ways： （1） helping to identify important concepts and relations expressed in the text, and （2） providing a structure for linking similar concepts in different abstracts. This paper describes the variable-based framework and the summarization process, and then reports the construction of the taxonomy for supporting the summarization process. An example is provided to show how to use the constructed taxonomy to identify important concepts and integrate the concepts extracted from different abstracts.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a sentence-word two layer graph algorithm combining with keyword density to generate the multi-document summarization, known as Graph ＆ Keywordp. The traditional graph methods of multi-document summarization only consider the influence of sentence and word in all documents rather than individual documents. Therefore, we construct multiple word graph and extract right keywords in each document to modify the sentence graph and to improve the significance and richness of the summary. Meanwhile, because of the differences in the words importance in documents, we propose to use keyword density for the summaries to provide rich content while using a small number of words. The experiment results show that the Graph ＆ Keywordp method outperforms the state of the art systems when tested on the Duc2004 data set. Key words： multi-document, graph algorithm, keyword density, Graph ＆ Keywordp, Due2004展开更多

The method combines several reports on the same issue into a matrix of terms and sentences, and uses a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to reduce the dimension of the matrix and extract features, and then the sentence similarity is computed. The sentences are clustered according to similarity of sentences. The centroid sentences are selected from each class. Finally, the selected sentences are ordered to generate the summarization. The evaluation and results are presented, which prove that the proposed methods are efficient.展开更多

Sentence scores are calculated using their extensive coverage of the main content of the text, and summaries are created by extracting the highest scored sentences from the original document. The model formalized as a multiobjective integer programming problem. An advantage of this model is that it can cover the main content of source (s) and provide less redundancy in the generated sum- maries. To extract sentences which form a summary with an extensive coverage of the main content of the text and less redundancy, have been used the similarity of sentences to the original document and the similarity between sentences. Performance evaluation is conducted by comparing summarization outputs with manual summaries of DUC2004 dataset. Experiments showed that the proposed approach outperforms the related methods.展开更多

Analyzing the relationships among these elements to control and manage task-oriented dialogue systems is a challenging task. However, previous work has primarily focused on the independent recognition of user intent and emotion, making it difficult to simultaneously track both aspects in the dialogue tracking module and to effectively utilize user emotions in subsequent dialogue strategies. We propose a Multi-Head Encoder Shared Model (MESM) that dynamically integrates features from emotion and intent encoders through a feature fusioner. Addressing the scarcity of datasets containing both emotion and intent labels, we designed a multi-dataset learning approach enabling the model to generate dialogue summaries encompassing both user intent and emotion. Experiments conducted on the MultiWoZ and MELD datasets demonstrate that our model effectively captures user intent and emotion, achieving extremely competitive results in dialogue state tracking tasks.展开更多

Firstly,three vectors for each text are formed： the personal name Boolean vectors denoting whether a personal name occurs the text the biographical word Boolean vector representing title, occupation and so forth, and the feature vector with real values. Then, by combining a heuristic strategy based on Boolean vectors with an agglomeratie clustering algorithm based on feature vectors, it seeks to resolve multi-document personal name coreference. Experimental results show that this approach achieves a good performance by testing on ＂Wang Gang＂ corpus.展开更多
