Arabic Text Summary Evaluation Method

Abstract:

The present paper introduces a  new  method for arabic text summary  evalua- tion. This method relies on machine learn- ing approach which operates by combin- ing multiple features to build models that predict the human score (overall respon- siveness) of a  new  summary.  We  have tried several single and ensemble learning classiers to build the best model. We have experiment our method in summary level evaluation where we evaluate the quality   of each text summary separately and in system level evaluation  where  the  aver- age quality of text summary system was calculated. In both evaluation levels, the results show that the correlation between built models and human score  is  better than the correlation between the baselines and the human score.
