Abstract
We present a method of summarizing the minutes of the national Diet.The minutes have some peculiar traits.For example, honorifics appear frequently and it includes both speech traits and document traits.In this paper, we focus attention on those traits, and paraphrase or delete specific expressions.We paraphrased honorifics that appear frequently in the minutes.Similarly, we presumed redundant parts using frequently-appeared expressions and several clue words, and deleted those parts.As a result of applying these processes to the minutes including spontaneous speech, we attains about 80 % summarization rate.We experimented to CSJ spoken language corpus using our system, result of about 84% summarization rate is obtained.These results tell us that the proposed approach works well not only for the minutes but for other spoken language expressions.
