Abstract

Text summarization aims to generate a single,concise representation for documents. For Web applications,documents related to an event retrieved by search engines usually describe several event phases implicitly,making it difficult for existing approaches to identify,extract and summarize these phases. In this paper,we aim to mine and summarize event phases automatically from a stream of news data on the Web. We model the semantic relations of news via a graph model called Temporal Content Coherence Graph. A structural clustering algorithm EPCluster is designed to separate news articles corresponding to event phases. After that,we calculate the relevance of news articles based on a vertex-reinforced random walk algorithm and generate event phase summaries in a relevance maximum optimization framework. Experiments on news datasets illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.
