Abstract | Factoid analysis was introduced by vanHalteren and Teufel (2003) as an objective, yet semantics-oriented way of measuring overlap of information rather than surface strings in summaries. In this paper, we report on annotation experiments with two sets of summaries, and on a factoid-pairing program which finds correlations between factoids semi-automatically. |
