In our previous work, paragraph-style descriptions for a term are extracted from Web pages and organized based on domains. However, these descriptions are independent and do not comprise a condensed text as in hand-crafted encyclopedias. To resolve this problem, we propose a summarization method, which produces a single text from multiple descriptions. The resultant summary concisely describes a term from different viewpoints. We also show the effectiveness of our method by means of experiments.7 pages, Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (to appear)Computation and LanguageI.2.7; H.3.3; H.3.5Summarizing Encyclopedic Term Descriptions on the Webtext
