IE for summarization

How can IE supply for Auto-Summarization? This is one of the IE big questions for me this week.

Fortunally there were some persons had researched and got good achievement on it. It was included in a paper which was named as Information Extraction and Summarization: Domain Indepence through Focus Types. The authers were of Department of Computer Science, Columbia University. Although it was written at April 2, 1999, I thought it was very newly for me. As said in this paper, IE could supply for Auto-Summarization. Likely to the common outline, to a original article, IE found out the name entities, the relationship between the name entities and filled some templates to the type of the common articles. Finally, the sentences which contained the most improtant information, would be chosen to combine a summary. In order to get more coherent summary, the final step was to change the order of the sentences. That is, the sentences' order of the summary would be not the same as that of the original article.

The idea is very fit for our recent demand. I think so.

IE big questions!!

There were seven IE big questions for our investigation task this week. And each of them had lot of related materials. So the answers for these questions were hard to found out.

But I had got some wonderful websites about IE. Originally there was a nice conference named as MUC(Message Understanding Conference) whose main point was about IE. And there were lots of famous IE systems.

During the survey, I found out that Coreference Resolution was very important for IE. As based on anapgora resolution there were more relations can be mined out.

So wonderful research point is AR(or CR) :)

Congratulations to the No.1 Experimental Satellite

Congratulations to the No.1 Experimental Satellite. It is our university's proud.

The speech of our lab

At the lab meeting, I didnot make the oral English speech. Because I had thought that if I did the oral English speech, maybe I could not express well and many audience would not understand my viewpoints.

I would try to practise more and use the simplest words to express my viewpoints.

By Mjs's speech, I indeed found out the very importance of English study. And I shoud insist on writing English diary.

And Mjs gave us his impression of the IJCNLP 2004.

He mentioned the First ACL Lifetime Achievement Award's winner Prof. Aravind Joshi. He has contributed a lot on anaphora resolution.

It is very good news for me to improve my interesting on this topic.

Prepare for tomorrow's speech.

Tomorrow morning, I will give two speech, search and causal relation extraction. But I have not prepared for the speech of search.

So today for me is very busy.

Before some days I had read the paper many times and I had written the paper review outline. But when I was doing the ppt for this paper, I found out that I must read this paper for more times.

Right now I began to understand the old sentence that you will fully understand the book after you have read it 100 times.

The English presentation

These two weeks our lab will hold two meetings to analyze and understand the papers that were brought by Mjs from Hainan Conference.

And there were three papers to me. Originally I planed to make my presentations at next week. But as there were few person to make their presentations this week and I had read two of them, so it was my trun to make two papers presentation this weekend.

This time, Dr.Tliu demanded English powerpoint and oral English. So we must study the papers deeper and deeper. This evening, I prepared the presentation for the paper of Causal relation extraction. Causal relation was so important for the Question-Answer system. As it performed very lower accuracy in recent QA systems.

Based on the experimence of my pure English presentation about high-tech of our English class, I had done the powerpoint and imagined the report scenes at the meeting.

Simply told me that it was a very good chance for me to make the pure English presentation and I should treasure this chance. Thanks for Simply's encouragement.

The difference between men and women

We were discussing the difference between men and women in the English class at this afternoon.

What is the difference between men and women? Our teacher gave us six main aspects: friendship, stress, selflessness, and so on.

We discussed them drasticly.

Oh, the administrators of this building has come now. I must go. I will go on this topic after some days.
