Abstract

Automatic summarization is the task of creating a set of short and concise sentences that capture the content of the original source material. Summaries should retain only the most relevant content of the source, while suppressing secondary and redundant information. Most existing approaches to automatic summarization have been applied to narrative documents such as news, reports, and technical documents. Relatively few techniques were proposed for summarizing meetings and other forms of interactive content.
