Abstract

The pyramid method for content evaluation of automated summarizers produces scores that are shown to correlate well with manual scores used in educational assessment of students' summaries. This motivates the development of a more accurate automated method to compute pyramid scores. Of three methods tested here, the one that performs best relies on latent semantics.
