摘要：Summarizing skills have been introduced to English
syllabus in secondary school in Malaysia to evaluate student¡¯s
comprehension for a given text where it requires students to employ
several strategies to produce the summary. This paper reports on our
effort to develop a computer-based summarization assessment system
that detects the strategies used by the students in producing their
summaries. Sentence decomposition of expert-written summaries is
used to analyze how experts produce their summary sentences. From
the analysis, we identified seven summarizing strategies and their
rules which are then transformed into a set of heuristic rules on how
to determine the summarizing strategies. We developed an algorithm
based on the heuristic rules and performed some experiments to
evaluate and support the technique proposed.
