“…These global optimization-based techniques have generated better results vis-à-vis greedy techniques, for abstractive summaries based on standard data sets, e.g., DUC. Although ATS has been used for summarizing from multiple sources, such as patents (Tseng et al 2007;Codina-Filbà et al 2017), biomedical text (Reeve et al 2007), research papers (Lloret et al 2013), IMF country reports (Ackermann et al 2006), product reviews (Zhan et al 2009;Hu et al 2017), court decisions (Moens 2007), product news (Chakraborti and Dey 2015), it has not been used specifically for extracting summaries from corpora created with the intention of gathering information on multiple aspects of a business organization's competitors. The conceptual framework proposed in Chakraborti and Dey (2014) and Chakraborti (2015) proposing ATS as a component for creating summaries from CI corpora lacks the support of any empirical analysis that shows the effectiveness of ATS for generating useful system summaries.…”
