DESCRIPTION:At this session of the NLIP Reading Group we’ll be discussin
 g the following paper:\n\nSaif Mohammad\, Bonnie Dorr\, Melissa Egan\, Ahm
 ed Hassan\, Pradeep Muthukrishan\, Vahed Qazvinian\, Dragomir Radev and Da
 vid Zajic. 2009. "Using Citations to Generate surveys of Scientific Paradi
 gms":http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/N/N09/N09-1066.pdf. In Proceedings of
  NAACL-HLT-09.\n\n*Abstract:*\nThe number of research publications in vari
 ous disciplines is growing exponentially. Researchers and scientists are i
 ncreasingly finding themselves in the position of having to quickly unders
 tand large amounts of technical material. In this paper we present the fir
 st steps in producing an automatically generated\, readily consumable\, te
 chnical survey. Specifically we explore the combination of citation inform
 ation and summarization techniques. Even though prior work (Teufel et al.\
 , 2006) argues that citation text is unsuitable for summarization\, we sho
 w that in the framework of multi-document survey creation\, citation texts
  can play a crucial role.
