Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a method to summarize a multi-party conversation. The method consists of two processes; important utterance extraction and summary generation using the extracted utterances. For the extraction process, we apply time features as new nonverbal information. For the generation process, we utilize a text segmentation method, LCSeg, to improve the coverage of the summary. The experimental result shows the effectiveness of the time features in the extraction process.
