Abstract  Automatic Chinese text summarization for dialogue style is a relatively new research area. In this paper, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is first used to extract semantic knowledge from a given document, all question paragraphs are identified, an automatic text segmentation approach analogous to TextTiling is exploited to improve the precision of correlating question paragraphs and answer paragraphs, and finally some “important” sentences are extracted from the generic content and the question-answer pairs to generate a complete summary. Experimental results showed that our approach is highly efficient and improves significantly the coherence of the summary while not compromising informativeness.
