[net.general] Automatic Abstracting

gdh@dcl-cs.UUCP (Gareth Husk) (09/10/85)

This is an attempt to get in touch with anybody who may be working 
on the problem of Automatic Abstraction .

At Lancaster I am working on a brute force ( ie A linguistic mess )
method of evaluating most significant portions of text by endophoric
references and key indicator phrases.
   I would be most interested to hear of any work being done by others
and of any publications or papers on the subject area that have appeared
since 1975.

Contact me by e-mail

Thanks in advance

Gareth
