Learning Summarization by Using Similarities.

Capus, Laurence; Tourigny, Nicole

Computer Assisted Language Learning, v11 n5 p475-88 Dec 1998

Discusses a research project aimed at designing a computer-based system to help students learn to summarize French texts by using a method called Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). Such a system uses previous, similar situations to make a new summary by reusing and adapting the same summarization rules. The rationale underlying the learning of text summarization by using CBR is described. (Author/VWL)
