Abstractive Summarization of Voice Communications

Abstract summarization of conversations is a very challenging task that requires full understanding of the dialog turns, their roles and relationships in the conversations. We present an efficient system, derived from a fullyfledged text analysis system that performs the necessary linguistic analysis of turns in conversations and provides useful argumentative labels to build synthetic abstractive summaries of conversations.
