Rhetorics-based multi-document summarization ?
In this paper, a new multi-document summarization framework which combines rhetorical roles and corpus-based semantic analysis is proposed. The approach is able to capture the semantic and rhetorical relationships between sentences so as to combine them to produce coherent summaries. Experiments were conducted on datasets extracted from web-based news using standard evaluation methods. Results show the promise of our proposed model as compared to state-of-the-art approaches.
