Abstract
Comparative summarization is an effective strategy to discover important similarities and differences in collections of documents biased to users' interests. A natural method of this task is to find important and corresponding content. In this paper, we propose a novel research task of automatic query-based across-time summarization in news archives as well as we introduce an effective method to solve this task. The proposed model first learns an orthogonal transformation between temporally distant news collections. Then, it generates a set of corresponding sentence pairs based on a concise integer linear programming framework. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on the New York Times Annotated Corpus.
