To assess the output quality of the resulting sentence compression system, we compare it to two state-ofthe-art sentence compression systems.
we compare against our implementation of Clarke and Lapata (2008)'s compression model which uses a series of constraints in an integer linear programming (ILP) solver, and Cohn and Lapata (2007)'s tree transducer toolkit (T3) which learns a synchronous tree substitution grammar (STSG) from paired monolingual sentences.
