Update Summarization Based on Latent Semantic Analysis

This paper deals with our recent research in text summarization.We went from single-document summarization through multidocumentsummarization to update summarization. We describe the developmentof our summarizer which is based on latent semantic analysis(LSA) and propose the update summarization component which determinesthe redundancy and novelty of each topic discovered by LSA. Thefinal part of this paper presents the results of our participation in theexperiment of Text Analysis Conference 2008.
