- Mohit Kumar, Dipanjan Das, Alexander I. Rudnicky. 2007. Summarizing non-textual events with 'Briefing' focus. Abstract: We describe a learning-based system for generating reports based on a mix of text and event data. The system incorporates several stages of processing, including aggregation, template-filling and importance ranking. Aggregators and templates were based on a corpus of reports evaluated by human judges. Importance and granularity were learned from this corpus as well. We find that high-scoring reports (with a recall of 0.89) can be reliably produced using this procedure given a set of oracle features. The report drafting system is part of a learning cognitive assistant RADAR, and is used to describe its performance.
