Researchers and scientists are increasingly finding themselves in the position of having to quickly understand large amounts of tech- nical material. In this paper we present the first steps in producing an automatically gen- erated, readily consumable, technical survey. Specifically we explore the combination of citation information and summarization tech- niques. Even though prior work (Teufel et al., 2006) argues that citation text is unsuitable for summarization, we show that in the frame- work of multi-document survey creation, cita- tion texts can play a crucial role. }, author = {Mohammad,S. and Dorr, Bonnie J and Egan,M. and Hassan,A. and Muthukrishan,P. and Qazvinian,V. and Radev,D. and Zajic, David} }
