Automatic summarization assessment through a combination of semantic and syntactic information for intelligent educational systems

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposed a specialized method that works well in assessing short summaries.

• It integrates the semantic relations between words, and their syntactic composition.

• We experimentally examine the influence of the combination of semantic and syntactic information on short summary assessment.

• Experiments have displayed that it is to be preferred over the existing techniques.

• We have developed the method as an intelligent tool to grade students’ summaries.
