University of Essex at the TAC 2011 Multilingual Summarisation Pilot

Abstract

We present the results of our Arabic and English runs at the TAC 2011 Multilingual summarisation (MultiLing) task. We partic- ipated with centroid-based clustering for multi- document summarisation.

The results are compared with the other systems that participated in the same track on both Arabic and English languages. Our Arabic summariser performed particularly well in the human evaluation
