Five articles were randomly selected for the experiment. The BLEU score for the articles compressed by Sentence Compressor and articles compressed by human is compared. The system performance evaluation is also done to measure the usefulness of this application. More than 65% of the respondents agreed that Sentence Compressor is useful in information searching. |
