Abstract

Text summarisation is the process of distilling the most important information from a source to produce an abridged version for a particular user or task. This poster investigates the use of profile-based summarisation to provide contextualisation and interactive support for enterprise searches. We employ log analysis to acquire continuously updated profiles to provide profile-based summarisations of search results. These profiles could be capturing an individual’s interests or (as discussed here) those of a group of users. Here we report on a first pilot study.
