Introduction Generate two types of multi-view
summaries: macro multi-view summary
Contains multiple sets of sentences, each representing a different viewpoint.
micro multi-view summary Contains a set of pairs of contrastive
sentences.

Modeling Viewpoints Challenge: to model and extract
viewpoints which are hidden in text.
Solve: Topic-Aspect Model (TAM)

Modeling Viewpoints Features
Words baseline approach do not do any stop word removal stemming
Dependency Relations use Stanford parser full-tuple: rel(a,b) split-tuple: rel(a,*), rel(*,b)

Modeling Viewpoints Features
Negation Rel(wi, wj), if either wi or wj is negated, then we simply rewrite it as .
Polarity use Subjectivity Clues lexicon amod(idea, good)→amod(idea,+) and amod(*,good) →rel(a, - ).

Modeling Viewpoints Features
Generalized Relations use Stanford dependencies Rewrite rel(a,b) as Rrel(a,b).

Multi-Viewpoint Summarization Comparative LexRank
Make it favor jumping to a good representative excerpt x of any viewpoint v. Make it favor jumping between two excerpts that can potentially form a good contrastive pair.

Multi-Viewpoint Summarization Summary Generation
Macro contrastive summarization Using the random walk stationary distribution across all of the data to rank the excerpts. Separate the top ranked excerpts into two disjoint sets. Remove redundancy and produce the summary.
Micro contrastive summarization Consist of a pair (xi,xj) with the pairwise relevance score. Rank these pairs and remove redundancy.

Experiments and Evaluation Experimental Setup
First dataset: 948 verbatim responses to a Gallup phone survey about the 2010 U.S. healthcare bill. Second dataset: use the Bitterlemons corpus, a collection of 594 editorials about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Experiments and Evaluation Stage One: Modeling Viewpoints

Experiments and Evaluation Stage Two: Summarizing
Viewpoints Gold Standard Summaries
Gallup healthcare poll

Experiments and Evaluation Stage Two: Summarizing Viewpoints
Baseline Approaches Graph-based algorithms
When λ=1, the random walk model only transitions to sentences within the same viewpoint. The modified algorithm produces the same ranking as the unmodified LexRank.
Model-based algorithms Compare against the approach of Lerman and McDonald.

Experiments and Evaluation Stage Two: Summarizing Viewpoints
Metrics using the standard ROUGE evaluation metric For evaluating the macro-level summaries:
For evaluating the micro-level summaries:

Experiments and Evaluation Unsupervised Summarization
Bitterlemons corpus (without a gold set) Asked 8 people to guess if each viewpoint’s summary was written by Israeli or Palestinian authors.

Experiments and Evaluation Unsupervised Summarization
Macro-level summaries: Correctly labeled 78% of the summary
sets. Micro-level summaries:
Many of the sentences are mislabeled, and the ones that are correctly labeled are not representative of the collection.

Conclusion Present steps toward a two-stage
system that can automatically extract and summarize viewpoints in opinionated text.
First: the accuracy of clustering documents by viewpoint can be enhanced by using rich dependency features.

Conclusion Second: use Comparative LexRank to generate contrastive summaries both at the macro and micro level.
