| Summary: | The ease of publishing content on the internet has produced new applications that did not exist before. Discussion websites are one of these and have become a common tool between internet users. Discussions on the internet have conversation structure, in which there is asynchronous communication between participants on multiple interleaved topics, thus resulting in difficulty for readers to come up with the big picture regarding content. Producing a summary of these discussions is a real challenge. This paper presents the motivations for discussion Summarizations and why it is important. It also discusses the different methods used on thread Summarization. Some researchers consider the thread as single documents while others implement the multi-documents technique, by taking advantage of available thread features that can be exploited in producing the summary. We also point out some of the peculiarities of the task of thread Summarization which have brought about many challenges, and suggest a number of solutions. |
