This paper presents a technique for producing short summaries from multiple documents. This technique promotes the belief that informative short summaries may be generated when using conceptual representations of redundant semantic information, called topic semantic signatures. The results of DUC-2002 evaluations account for the advantages of using the techniques presented in this paper.
