Keeping an Eye on the Context : An Eye Tracking Study of Cohesion Errors in Automatic Text Summarization / Med ett öga på sammanhanget : En ögonrörelsestudie av kohesionsfel i automatiska textsammanfattningar

Rennes, Evelina January 2013 (has links)
Automatic text summarization is a growing field due to the modern world’s Internet based society, but to automatically create perfect summaries is not easy, and cohesion errors are common. By the usage of an eye tracking camera, this thesis studies the nature of four different types of cohesion errors occurring in summaries. A total of 23 participants read and rated four different texts and marked the most difficult areas of each text. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that absent cohesion or context and broken anaphoric reference (pronouns) caused some disturbance in reading, but that the impact is restricted to the effort to read rather than the comprehension of the text. Erroneous anaphoric reference (pronouns) was not detected by the participants which poses a problem for automatic text summarizers, and other potential disturbing factors were detected. Finally, the question of the meaningfulness of keeping absent cohesion or context as a separate error type was raised.
