Techniques for displaying interactive topic-based summarization are provided. A text to be summarized is segmented. Discrete keyword, key-phrase, n-gram, sentence and other sentence constituent based summaries are generated based on statistical measures for each text segment. Interactive topic-based summaries are displayed with human sensible omitted text indicators such as alternate colors, fonts, sounds, tactile elements or other human sensible display characteristics useful in indicating omitted text. Individual and/or combinations of discrete keyword, key-phrase, n-gram, sentence, noun phrase and sentence constituent based summaries are dynamically displayed to provide an overview of topic and subtopic development within a text. A hierarchical and interactive display of texts based on the use of discrete sentence constituent based summaries which associates expansible and contractible displayed text to provide contextualized access to an interactive topic-based text summary and to an original text.

Systems and methods for analyzing speech containing at least one lexical item, said analysis to determine an attitude of a speaker towards an entity, comprising determining at least one actual valence for the at least one lexical item by analyzing the at least one lexical item in context; determining the attitude based on the at least one actual valence; associating the speaker, the entity and the attitude; and wherein the at least one lexical item encodes attitude information about the entity.

A method for adaptively determining the attitudinal function of a lexical item occurring in a natural language document, comprising determining a base valence of the lexical item; identifying a contextual valence shifter (CVS) wherein the lexical item is within scope of the CVS; and determining an actual valence of the lexical item by adjusting the base valence based on the CVS.

Techniques are provided for determining grammatical condensed text structures. Packed structures are determined for text structures based on a parsing grammar. Reduced packed structures are determined by applying transformation rules to packed and/or unpacked elements of the packed structures. A disambiguation model is applied to the reduced packed structure to determine candidate structures. A grammatically correct generation grammar is applied to the candidate structures to determine grammatical condensed text structures.
