It has a hierarchical structure in which the summarized information is presented at the top level and more detailed information given at the lower levels. A tree-view interface was implemented for displaying a multi-document summary based on the framework. A preliminary user evaluation was performed by comparing the framework-based summaries against the sentence-based summaries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n In a small evaluation, all the human subjects preferred the framework-based summaries to the sentence-based summaries. It indicates that the event-based framework is an effective way to summarize a set of news articles reporting an event or a series of relevant events.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n Limited to event-based news articles only, not applicable to news critiques and other kinds of news articles. A summarization system based on the event-based framework is being implemented.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n Multi-document summarization of news articles can adopt the proposed event-based framework.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n An event-based framework for summarizing sets of news articles was developed and evaluated using a tree-view interface for displaying such summaries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/00012530610677237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,4]],"date-time":"2006-07-04T07:10:31Z","timestamp":1151997031000},"page":"197-217","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Multi-document summarization of news articles using an event-based framework"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Shiyan","family":"Ou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Information Studies, School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher S.G.","family":"Khoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Information Studies, School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dion H.","family":"Goh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Information Studies, School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"2025072816003342700_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Barzilay, R.\n , Mckeown, K. and Elhadad, M.
