Abstract(in English) Recently, summary generation of sports games for microblogs is studied actively. Summary generation methods in the studies are mostly based on extractive summarization.However extractive summarization suffers from the disadvantage of existing both required elements and redundant elements in the summary.In this paper, we propose an abstractive summarization method to reduce the redundant elements.In the method, we focus on burst situations in which many users post tweets when a sub-event in a game occurs.We handle tweets in the burst situations as the inputs for the summarization.Each Sub-Event Element (SEE) contains some phrases that express actions in a game, such as “Player A made a pass to Player B” and “Player B made a shot on goal”.Our method integrates these phrases for the summarization, and then generates an abstractive summary,such as “Player B made a shot on goal from the Player A's pass”.
