multidocument summarization by sentence extraction
J Goldstein V Mittal J Carbonell M Kantrowitz
Unlike a document reuse approach , sentence-level approaches need to consider issues of discourse coherence in order to ensure that the extracted combination of sentences is coherent or at least understandable . In our work , we gather sets of sentences , and assume ( but do not employ ) existing approaches for their organization ( Goldstein et al. 2000 ; Barzilay , Elhadad , and McKeown 2001 ; Barzilay and McKeown 2005 ) . The appeal of a sentence-level approach is that it supports the generation of a `` combination response '' in situations where there is insufficient evidence for a single document containing a full response , but there is enough evidence for parts of responses .
