| Extrinsic Summarization Evaluation: A Decision Audit Task (2009) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Abstract. In this work we describe a large-scale extrinsic evaluation of automatic speech summarization technologies for meeting speech. The particular task is a decision audit, wherein a user must satisfy a complex information need, navigating several meetings in order to gain an understanding of how and why a given decision was made. We compare the usefulness of extractive and abstractive technologies in satisfying this information need, and assess the impact of automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors on user performance. We employ several evaluation methods for participant performance, including post-questionnaire data, human subjective and objective judgments, and an analysis of participant browsing behaviour. 1 | |||||||||||||||
