Leveraging Structural Relations for Fluent Compressions at Multiple Compression Rates

Prior approaches to sentence compression have taken low level syntactic constraints into account in order to maintain grammaticality. We propose and successfully evaluate a more comprehensive, generalizable feature set that takes syntactic and structural relationships into account in order to sustain variable compression rates while making compressed sentences more coherent, grammatical and readable.
