Wikisummarizer - a Wikipedia-Based Summarization System

Wikisummarizer - a Wikipedia-Based Summarization System - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Yajie Miao and Chunping Li.

Overview

This paper presents WikiSummarizer system at the guided summarization track of TAC 2010. This system is derived from a novel framework which improves summarization through sentence wikification, i.e., enriching sentence representation with concepts from Wikipedia. By examining sentences in the feature space of Wikipedia concepts, authors are able to obtain sentence similarity which is more consistent with human judgment. Furthermore, authors develop a strategy which incorporates semantic relatedness of Wikipedia concepts into sentence wikification as a smoothing factor. Authors system outperforms the baseline and has achieved competitive results in TAC 2010.
