Experimental analysis of multiple criteria for extractive multi-document text summarization

作者:

Highlights:

• We focus on the different criteria used for generating automatic text summaries.

• We contribute with a complete study evaluating and comparing these different criteria.

• This paper analyzes the best criteria and their combinations.

• Our tests use Document Understanding Conferences datasets and the ROUGE metrics.

• Coverage, redundancy reduction, and relevance obtain the most balanced results.
