General Versus Specific Sentences: utA omatic Identification and Application ot Analysis of News Summaries Abstract In this paper, we introduce the task of identifying general and specific sentences in news articles. Instead of embarking on a new annotation effort to obtain data for the task, we explore the possibility of leveraging existing large corpora annotated with discourse information to train a classifier. We introduce several classes of features that capture lexical and syntactic information, as well as word specificity and polarity. We then use the classifier ot analyze the distribution of general and specific sentences in human and machine summaries of news articles. We discover that while all types of summaries tend to be more specific than the original documents, human abstracts contain a more balanced mix of general and specific sentences but automatic summaries are overwhelmingly specific. Our findings give strong evidence for the need for a new task in (abstractive) summarization: identification and generation of general sentences.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • Near Fatal Accident Hasn't Stopped Runner Lisa Buohler
    STARTING LINES [ NEWS, VIEWS, RACES, PLACES, GEAR & MORE ] Up and Running A year after a near-fatal accident, Lisa Buohler hasn’t lost a step BY LISA MARSHALL hen race organizers an- nounced they would be keeping the 2012 Boston W Marathon course open an extra hour due to record-high temperatures, Lisa Buohler reacted with more relief than worry. “I thought ‘Yay. That’s great! With six hours, maybe I can at least get a finisher’s medal,’” she recalls. Even that was a lofty goal for a 42-year- old mother of two who, just last September, was lying in a Florida hospital on a mor- phine drip, her liver lacerated, lung bruised, and back crushed after an SUV rear-ended her on her bike. It was only 16 days before Boston that her doctor had cautiously cleared her to start running again “as long as she took it easy.” So, when she crossed the finish line on April 16 in 3:48:51—on a day so hot that 4,300 registered runners opted to not even start—she surprised even herself. “I was shocked,” she says. “To this day I am still asking myself ‘How did I do that’?” Friends and doctors suspect the answer to this question, as well as how she survived her grisly collision without permanent brain or spinal cord damage, lies in the shape she was in before her accident. “She was just remarkably fit,” says friend and training partner John Blewis. “Literally one of the most determined athletes I have ever seen.” Born in Manchester, England in 1969, Buohler moved to the U.S.

  • Racial Double Standards? the Case of Expected Performance and Dismissals of Head Coaches In
    Racial double standards? The case of expected performance and dismissals of head coaches in NBA Carlos Gomez-Gonzalez, Julio del Corral, Andrés Maroto ABSTRACT Professional basketball in the US provides an opportunity to test racial differences in the labor market. In contrast to other professional sports, such as baseball or American football, and, more deeply, to other economic sectors, black Americans are represented in influencing positions as head coaches in this competitive setting. The paper investigates the influence of the race of the coach and performance (winning ratio and an efficiency index relative to expectations) on dismissal decisions. The data includes coach- team information over a 20-year period of time in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the analysis uses several probit models. The results show that black head coaches are more likely to be fired and less prone to quit than white head coaches, ceteris paribus. Both measures of performance (efficiency and victories) also play a significant role in dismissals. Keywords: Basketball, Coaches, Dismissal, Efficiency, Race, Performance, NBA 1 1. Introduction In the words of Samuel Johnson, racial discrimination was a fact "too evident for detection and too gross for aggravation" in the American society of the first part of the 20th century (Arrow, 1998, p. 92). African Americans had a strictly limited access to certain jobs, which prevented them from creating a social network and reaching top positions (Ibarra, 1995). In recent years, although African Americans still face barriers to access leadership jobs in certain sectors, they have successfully scale top positions in professional sports, particularly in basketball.
