Arabic multi-document text summarisation
Multi-document summarisation is the process of producing a single summary of a collection of related documents. Much of the current work on multi-document text summarisation is concerned with the English language; relevant resources are numerous and readily available. These resources include human …

Text readability and summarisation for non-native reading comprehension
… of a given text for L2 learners, and learner summarisation assessment, which evaluates the quality of learner summaries to assess their reading comprehension. We approach both tasks as supervised machine learning problems and present automated assessment systems that achieve state-of-the-art …

The Impact of Data Presentation Practices on Perceptions of Political Polarisation
… repeated exposure to different formats of data summarisation on partisan political perceptions over time. Although results broadly failed to identify significant differences between summarisation techniques, a pattern materialised which seemed to indicate that any summarisation technique …

Content Selection for Timeline Generation from Single History Articles
… of the task as a special form of single-document summarisation. This methodology scores algorithms based on meaning units rather than surface similarity. Unlike previous semantic-units-based evaluation methods for summarisation, my evaluation method does not require any manual annotation of system …

The Graphical Representation of Structured Multivariate Data
… have been used increasingly for the examination, summarisation and communication of statistical data. Many graphical techniques exist for exploratory data analysis (ie. for deciding which model it is appropriate to fit to the data) and a number of graphical diagnostic techniques exist for checking …

New trends in environmental and socially responsible management in the cement manufacturing.
… to knowledge of this research is the summarisation and prioritisation of the cement industry¿s implementation of TBL/CSR management systems, which integrate the elements of TBL/CSR into their strategic plans and daily operational procedures. Guidelines were derived from the Global …

The development of coherence and quality of performance in conference interpreter training
… 1998). Its use by Marcu (2000) in automatic text summarisation - which introduces the notions of relevance and salience, and thereby a principled basis for progressively compressing a message -provides further inspiration for the analysis of my data. My data consist of 66 consecutive …

Sentence Simplification for Text Processing
… involves three NLP tasks: multidocument summarisation, semantic role labelling, and information extraction. Finally, in Chapter 8, conclusions are drawn and directions for future research considered.

A Big Bang Big Crunch Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System for Machine Vision-Based Event Detection and Summarization in Real-world Ambient Assisted Living
… which allows for behaviour recognition and event summarisation using 2D/3D video sensors in AAL applications. I started by investigating the use of 2D CCTV camera based system where I proposed and developed novel IT2FLS-based methods for silhouette extraction and 2D behaviour recognition which …

Curating and summarising data from animal research on neurodevelopment at scale
… for more in-depth reviews. However, to enable summarisation of large research areas, mapping approaches require streamlined workflows enabling information from various sources to be combined. Additionally – by making use of automation approaches such as code scripts, existing data accessed via …

Proposition-based summarization with a coherence-driven incremental model
Summarization models which operate on meaning representations of documents have been neglected in the past, although they are a very promising and interesting class of methods for summarization and text understanding. In this thesis, I present one such summarizer, which uses the proposition as its …
