CRL's work on Multilingual Interactive Document Summarization for TIPSTER Phase III combines research in automatic and interactive summarization with an integration of new and current methods in a multi-engine prototype summarization tool. We are building on the CRL Core Summarization Engine to provide robust multi-lingual summarization capabilities designed to aid fast and interactive document filtering, even in the absence of certain lexical or other resources for a language. The initial languages supported will be English, Spanish, Japanese and Russian. In addition to providing stand alone summarization and translatin capabilities the system will build personal profiles, in English, of selected personages by using a combination of techniques.
MINDs is also an integration test bed for many of the language processing technologies developed at CRL; multi-lingual information retrieval, machine translation, text generation, information extraction and ontology based language processing.
