CAST: A computer-aided summarisation tool

In this paper we propose computeraided summarisation (CAS) as an alternative approach to automatic summarisation, and present an ongoing project which aims to develop a CAS system. The need for such an alternative approach is justified by the relatively poor performance of fully automatic methods used in summarisation. Our system combines several summarisation methods, allowing the user of the system to interact with their parameters and output in order to improve the quality of the produced summary.
