CONDENSED REPRESENTATION OF SENTENCES IN GRAPHIC DISPLAYS OF TEXT STRUCTURES

Abstract

This article is concerned with how sentences may be represented briefly but informatively in graphic displays of a sentence dependency structure. Different automatic abbreviation schemes were assessed on a sample data set for compression and ambiguity. ‘Speedwriting’ of words longer than five letters yielded a compression to 80% of the source text, with very low ambiguity. This and two other automatic notemaking‐like techniques have been implemented as options in the texnet text structure management system.
