MultiLing 2015: Multilingual Summarization of Multiple Documents, Online Fora and Call Centre Conversations

MultiLing 2015: Multilingual Summarization of Multiple Documents, Online Fora and Call Centre Conversations

 

From Caesar's 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' to 'What might be in a summary?' (Karen Sparck-Jones, 1993) summarization techniques have been key to successfully grasping the main points of large amounts of information, and much research has been devoted to improving such techniques.  In the past two decades, the progress of summarization research has been supported by evaluation exercises and shared tasks such as DUC, TAC and, more recently, MultiLing (2011, 2013). Multiling is a community-driven initiative for benchmarking multilingual summarization systems, nurturing further research, and pushing the state-of-the-art in the area.  The aim of MultiLing 2015 is to continue this evolution and, in addition, to introduce new tasks promoting research on summarizing free human interaction in online fora and customer call centres. With this call we wish to invite the summarization research community to participate in MultiLing 2015.
