Hi all,

Does anyone know the general strokes of how the Summerize service's algorithm works? Or provide references to how such "semantic-importance tagging" works (it looks like Summerize basically removes sentences in a predefined order as you shrink the summery size, thus it must first order the sentences by some measure of "importance")

This may be terribly naive (probably is), and could possibly only be answered by the Apple people who wrote it (in which case it's a suggestion for a future improvement of the Summerize service) but could such an algorithm be used to identify and remove redundant information? (I'm specifically thinking of the idea of throwing one of the comment forests on Slashdot at such an algorithm)
