Intweetive Text Summarization
This addresses the challenge of digesting large volumes of social media content for business analysts, though it is incremental as it applies existing summarization techniques to a new domain.
The paper tackles the problem of summarizing tweets for public figure e-reputation analysis, proposing an automatic method that generates summaries from keyword queries or sample tweets, and evaluates it on the multilingual CLEF RepLab dataset.
The amount of user generated contents from various social medias allows analyst to handle a wide view of conversations on several topics related to their business. Nevertheless keeping up-to-date with this amount of information is not humanly feasible. Automatic Summarization then provides an interesting mean to digest the dynamics and the mass volume of contents. In this paper, we address the issue of tweets summarization which remains scarcely explored. We propose to automatically generated summaries of Micro-Blogs conversations dealing with public figures E-Reputation. These summaries are generated using key-word queries or sample tweet and offer a focused view of the whole Micro-Blog network. Since state-of-the-art is lacking on this point we conduct and evaluate our experiments over the multilingual CLEF RepLab Topic-Detection dataset according to an experimental evaluation process.
