"abstract": "This paper explores two linguistically motivated restrictions on the set of words used for topic tracking on newspaper articles: named entities and headline words. We assume that named entities is one of the linguistic features for topic tracking, since both topic and event are related to a specific place and time in a story. The basic idea to use headline words for the tracking task is that headline is a compact representation of the original story, which helps people to quickly understand the most important information contained in a story. Headline words are automatically generated using headline generation technique. The method was tested on the Mainichi Shimbun Newspaper in Japanese, and the results of topic tracking show that the system works well even for a small number of positive training data.",

"text": "With the exponential growth of information on the Internet, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and organize relevant materials. Tracking task, i.e. starts from a few sample stories and finds all subsequent stories that discuss the target topic, is a new line of research to attack the problem. One of the major problems in the tracking task is how to make a clear distinction between a topic and an event in the story. Here, an event refers to the subject of a story itself, i.e. a writer wants to express, in other words, notions of who, what, where, when, why and how in the story. On the other hand, a topic is some unique thing that occurs at a specific place and time associated with some specific actions [1] . It becomes background among stories. Therefore, an event drifts, but a topic does not. For example, in the stories of 'Kobe Japan quake' from the TDT1 corpus, the event includes early reports of damage, location and nature of quake, rescue efforts, consequences of the quake, and on-site reports, while the topic is Kobe Japan quake.",

"text": "A wide range of statistical and machine learning techniques have been applied to topic tracking, including k-Nearest Neighbor classification, Decision Tree induction [3] , relevance feedback method of IR [12, 13] , hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering algorithms [20] , and a variety of Language Modeling [15, 5, 10, 17] . The main task of these techniques is to tune the parameters or the threshold for binary decisions to produce optimal results. In the TDT context, however, parameter tuning is a tricky issue for tracking. Because only the small number of labeled positive stories is available for training. Moreover, the well-known past experience from IR that notions of who, what, where, when, why, and how may not make a great contribution to the topic tracking task [1] causes this fact, i.e. a topic and an event are different from each other. This paper explores two linguistically motivated restrictions on the set of words used for topic tracking on newspaper articles: named entities and headline words. A topic is related to a specific place and time, and an event refers to notions of who(person), where(place), when(time) including what, why and how in a story. Therefore, we can assume that named entities is one of the linguistic features for topic tracking. Another linguistic feature is a set of headline words. The basic idea to use headline words for topic tracking is that headline is a compact representation of the original story, which helps people to quickly understand the most important information contained in a story, and therefore, it may include words to understand what the story is about, what is characteristic of this story with respect to other stories, and hopefully include words related to both topic and event in the story. A set of headline words is automatically generated. To do this, we use a technique proposed by Banko [2] . It produces coherent summaries by building statistical models for content selection and surface realization. Another purpose of this work is to create Japanese corpus for topic tracking task. We used Mainichi Shimbun Japanese Newspaper corpus from Oct. to Dec. of 1998 which corresponds to the TDT3 corpus. We annotated these articles against the 60 topics which are defined by the TDT3.",

"text": "The approach that relies mainly on corpus statistics is widely studied in the topic tracking task, and an increasing number of machine learning techniques have been applied to the task. CMU proposed two methods: a k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier and a Decision-Tree Induction (dtree) classifier [1, 20, 3] . Dragon Systems proposed two tracking systems; one is based on standard language modeling technique, i.e. unigram statistics to measure story similarity [18] and another is based on a Beta-Binomial model [10] . UMass viewed the tracking problem as an instance of on-line document classification, i.e. it classifies documents into categories or classes [4, 8, 19, 9, 14] . They proposed a method including query expansion with multi-word features and weight-learning steps for building linear text classifiers for the tracking task [13] . These approaches, described above, seem to be robust and have shown satisfactory performance in stories from different corpora, i.e. TDT1 and TDT2. However, Carbonell claims that something more is needed if the system is intended for recognizing topic drift [3] . Yang et al. addressed the issue of difference between early and later stories related to the target event in the TDT tracking task. They adapted several machine learning techniques, including k-Nearest Neighbor(kNN) algorithm and Rocchio approach [21] . Their method combines the output of a diverse set of classifiers and tuning parameters for the combined system on a retrospective corpus. The idea comes from the well-known practice in information retrieval and speech recognition of combining the output of a large number of systems to yield a better result than the individual system's output. They reported that the new variants of kNN reduced up to 71% in weighted error rates on the TDT3-dryrun corpus. GE R&D proposed a method for topic tracking by using summarization technique, i.e. using content compression rather than on corpus statistics to detect relevance and assess topicality of the source material [16] . Their system operates by first creating a topic tracking query out of the available training stories. Subsequently, it accepts incoming stories, summarizes them topically, scores the summaries(passages) for content, then assesses content relevance to the tracking query. They reported stories whose compressed content summaries clear the empirically established threshold are classified as being 'on topic'. Unlike most previous work on summarization which focused on extractive summarization: selecting text spans -either complete sentences or paragraphs -from the original story, this approach solves a problem for extractive summarization, i.e. in many cases, the most important information in the story is scattered across multiple sentences. However, their approach uses frequency-based term weighting. Therefore, it is not clear if the method can identify the most important information contained in a story.",

The second term in formula (1) shows the length of the resulting headline, and can also be learned from the source story. The third term shows the most likely sequencing of the words in the content set. Banko et al. assumed that the likelihood of a word in the story is independent of other words in the headline. Surface realization is to estimate the probability of any particular surface ordering as a headline candidate. It can be computed by modeling the probability of word sequences. Banko et al. used a bigram language model. When they estimate probabilities for sequences that have not been seen in the training data, they used back-off weights [6] .

The classification is determined to be correct if the majority of three human judges agrees. The Japanese corpus consists of 27,133 stories. We used it in the experiment. We obtained a vocabulary of 52,065 unique words after tagging by a morphological analysis, Chasen [11] . Table 2 summarizes the results using all words for each sequence that maximizes the probability, i.e. 14 sequences in all. The results were obtained using the standard TDT . The test set is always the collection minus the N t = 16 stories. 'Miss' denotes Miss rate, which is the ratio of the stories that were judged as YES but were not evaluated as YES for the run in question. 'F/A' shows false alarm rate, which is the ratio of the stories judged as NO but were evaluated as YES. 'Prec.' is the ratio of correct assignments by the system divided by the total number of system's assignments. 'F'(pooled avg) is a measure that balances recall(Rec.) and precision, where recall denotes the ratio of correct assignments by the system divided by the total number of correct assignments. We recall that a generated headline is a sequence of words that maximizes the probability. We set the maximum number of word sequence by calculating the average number of the original titles, and obtained the number of 15 words. The minimum number of words in a sequence is two. Fig. 3 illustrates the extracted headline for each sequence. Box in Fig. 3 shows a word, and 'arg max P(x)' denotes the maximum probability of a candidate headline. For example, the extracted sequence ",

We recall that Table 2 shows the result using each sequence that maximizes the probability. However, when N t = 1, the result was not good, as the F-score was zero. We thus conducted the following two experiments to examine the effect of the number of words in a sequence: (1) the tracking task using all words, each of which is the element of only one sequence that maximizes the probability (Fig. 4) and (2) the tracking using various number of word sequences (Fig. 5) . In (2), we tested different number of words in a sequence, and we chose six words that optimized the global F-score. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4 . ",

We can see from both Tables 3 and 4 that when the number of words in a sequence is small, the result has no effect with the number of positive training data, since the range of F-score in Table 3 is 0.415 \u223c 0.478, and that in Table 4 is 0.453 \u223c 0.516.

Table 5 shows that the best result was when we use 'Org', 'Person', and 'Proper' with N t = 16, and the F-score is 0.717. When N t is larger than 8 positive training stories, the method which uses six title words with named entities consistently outperforms the baseline. When N t is smaller than 4 positive training stories, the result was improved when we add 'Per' and 'Proper' to the baseline.

The F/A for all results with a hierarchy were lower than those without a hierarchy. One reason behind this lies iteration of a hierarchical classification, i.e. our algorithm involves iterating through the data that the system is permitted to classify during each iteration. As a result, there are a few negative training data in the bottom cluster, and the test stories were judged as NO but were evaluated as YES. We need to explore a method for determining the depth of the tree in the hierarchical classification, and this is a rich space for further investigation.",
