FASIL Email Summarisation System

Email summarisation presents a unique set of requirements that are different from general text summarisation. This work describes the implementation of an email summarisation system for use in a voice-based Virtual Personal Assistant developed for the EU FASiL Project. Evaluation results from the first integrated version of the project are presented.
