  • QUOTE: Out of the initial workshop and the roadmapping effort has grown a continuing evaluation in the area of text summarization called the Document Understanding Conferences (DUC). Sponsored by the Advanced Research and Development Activity (ARDA), the conference series is run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to further progress in summarization and enable researchers to participate in large-scale experiments.
