> Title: Global Revision in Summarisation: Generating Novel Sentences with
> Prim's Algorithm
> Speaker: Stephen Wan
>
> Abstract:
> In abstract-like summarisation, extracted sentences containing key content
> are often revised to improve the coherence of the overall summary. In this
> work, we consider the task of Global Revision, in which a key sentence is
> revised and supplemented with additional content from the original
> document. Specifically, this task comprises two subtasks: selecting
> content; and grammatically ordering content, the focus of this paper.
> Using statistical dependency models, we search for a Maximal Spanning
> (Dependency) Tree that structures recycled words and phrases
> to form a novel sentence. Combining a modified version of Prim's algorithm
> with a four-gram language model, we evaluated our system on a sentence
> regeneration task obtaining Bleu scores of .30, a statistically
> significant improvement above the baseline.
