Abstract
Crosslanguage summarization is the task of generating a summary in a language different from the language of the source documents. In this paper, we propose a graphbased approach to multidocument summarization that integrates machine translation quality scores in the sentence extraction process. We evaluate our method on a manually translated subset of the DUC 2004 evaluation campaign. Results indicate that our approach improves the readability of the generated summaries without degrading their informativity.
Key words: Graphbased approach, crosslanguage multidocument summarization.
