Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0049517A2] A summary for a collection of related documents can be generated by extracting phrases from the documents which include common focus elements. Phrase intersection analysis is then performed on the extracted phrases to generate a phrase intersection table, where identical or equivalent phrases are identified. Temporal processing on the phrases in the phrase intersection table is performed to remove ambiguous time references and to sort the phrases in a temporal sequence. Sentence generation is then used to combine the phrases in the phrase intersection table into a coherent summary.

[origin: WO0049517A2] A summary for a collection of related documents can be generated by extracting phrases (100) from the documents which include common focus elements. Phrase intersection analysis (120) is then performed on the extracted phrases (100) to generate a phrase intersection table, where identical or equivalent phrases are identified. Temporal processing (140) on the phrases in the phrase intersection table is performed to remove ambiguous time references and to sort the phrases in a temporal sequence. Sentence generation is then used to combine the phrases in the phrase intersection table into a coherent summary.
