Abstract
This paper presents our extractive summarization systems at the update summarization
track of TAC 2009. This system is based on our newly developed document summarization
framework under the theory of conditional information distance among many objects. The
best summary is defined in this paper to be the one which has the minimum information
distance to the entire document set. The best update summary has the minimum conditional
information distance to a document cluster given that a prior document cluster has
already been read. Experiments on the TAC dataset have proved that our method has got
a good performance in many categories.
