Summarization based on bi-directional citation analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• We extend citation-based summarization techniques to use both cited and citing documents.

• Our method combines citation text with other elements of cited and citing documents, such as the full text and catchphrases.

• We investigate using citations to extract information from the target document.

• We apply these techniques on the domain of legal judgements, a new area for citations-based summarization.

• On a legal summarization corpus, our methods outperform competitive baselines.
