dc.description.abstractFast changing knowledge on the Internet can be acquired more efficiently with the help of automatic document summarization and updating techniques. This paper described a novel approach for multi-document update summarization. The best summary is defined 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 DUC 2007 dataset and the TAC 2008 dataset have proved that our method closely correlates with the human summaries and outperforms other programs such as LexRank in many categories under the ROUGE evaluation criterion.en
