- Norman Papernick, Alexander Hauptmann. 2005. Summarization of Broadcast News Video through Link Analysis of Named Entities. Abstract: This paper describes the use of connections between named entities for summarization of broadcast news. We fi rst extract named entities from a transcript of a news story, and find related entities nearby. In the context of a q uery, a link graph of relevant entities is rendered in an intera ctive display, allowing the user to manipulate, browse an d examine the components, including the ability to pl ay back video clips that mention with interesting relations hips. An evaluation of the approach shows that completely au tomatic summaries from a year of broadcast news can reflect a most 50% of the entities in a manually created reference summary found on the web. Locations are the most accurate a sp ct of summarization.
