An approach for summarization of two-sentences Vietnamese paragraph

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a general approach for summarizing the meaning of Vietnamese paragraphs based on simple two-sentences. The studied objects are paragraphs having the common characteristics: the first sentence has one or two nouns indicating human objects; the second sentence has one or two anaphoric pronouns. We only consider two types of Vietnamese human pronouns in this research: the pronouns standing alone in the sentence; the pronouns standing with demonstrative adjective in the sentence. At the first phase, depending on the context of pronouns in the second sentence, we propose appropriate strategies to find the exact human object at the first sentence which is referred to by each pronoun. A discourse structure is also built to represent the meaning of each paragraph. At the second phase, each discourse representation will be transformed to a syntactic structure of meaning-summarizing sentence. The final phase complete the new sentence of summarization.
