Abstract
The use of examples may be a good strategy to learn or to improve one’s abilities in a particular field; but the number of educational systems using examples explicitly remains small. The goal of our GARUCAS (GenerAtor of summaRies Using CASes) project is to build an educational system to help users learn text summarization by means of examples. It uses case-based reasoning to build new summaries from old ones. By observing the expert module producing a summary, the system user will learn how to summarize. Thus, the system needs examples of text summarization in order to show how summaries are produced and also to reuse in summarizing other texts. We began with 12 examples of summarization of simple narrative texts.
