We focus on some strategies for incorporating segmentation results in the summary generation process.
unlike (Kan et al., 1998) (whose work also seeks to leverage linear segmentation for the explicit purposes of document summarization), we further take the view that with an appropriate interface metaphor-where the user has an overview of the relationships between a summary sentence, the key salient phrases within it, and its enclosing discourse segment-a sequence of visually demarkated segments can impart a lot of information directly leading to in-depth perception of the summary, as it relates to the full document (Boguraev and Neff, 2000).
