Web-Page Summarization Using Clickthrough Data

Jian-Tao Sun, Dou Shen, HuaJun Zeng, Qiang Yang, Yuchang Lu, Zheng Chen. The 28th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference. The authors propose two adapted summarization methods that take advantage of the relationships discovered from clickthrough data. For those pages not covered by clickthrough data, they put forward a thematic lexicon approach to generate implicit knowledge. The methods are evaluated on a relatively small dataset consisting of manually annotated pages as well as a large dataset crawled from ODP.
