To reflect the complexity and sophistication of the discussions, they are clustered according to subtopic structure on the sub-message level, and immediate responding pairs are identified through machine learning methods. A resulting summary consists of one or more mini-summaries, each on a subtopic from the discussion. %B Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Meeting of the ACL %C Ann Arbor, MI, USA %P 298-305 %8 06/2005 %U http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/P/P05/P05-1037.pdf %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/P05-1037.pdf
