*** 24th of September 2005 ***
OVERVIEW
The ever-increasing availability of on-line textual databases and the
development of the Internet have made of Text Summarization a major
research topic. The international research community has made
outstanding contributions to Text Summarization since the seminal 1993
Dagstuhl Seminar on Text Summarization for Intelligent Communication,
however several problems still need to be addressed and new issues
have emerged as a result of technological advances. The ``Crossing
Barriers in Text Summarization Research'' workshop will cover the
following topics:
* Coreference and Summarization
* Crosslingual Summarization
* Evaluation
* Multidocument Summarization
* Multimedia Summarization
* Question Answering and Summarization
* Speech Summarization
