Abstract

Multi-language news event summarization aims to quickly obtain important information from lots of related news texts written in different languages automatically. Considering that the main expressed information for the same event is similar no matter what language it is presented, the paper proposes a novel unified approach to summarize important information from the monolingual and Chinese–Vietnamese bilingual news sets simultaneously. Firstly, analyzing the sentence dependence relationship, making rules to segment sentences into different grammatical parts, a bilingual dictionary is used to set up a bilingual feature space. Secondly, Chinese–Vietnamese sentence graph model is calculated distributively. Finally, using the features that graph nodes can boost each other and fusing context information, the sentences are ranked based on whether they can represent the important information. The experimental result shows that our method is effective.
