This paper surveys current text and speech summarization evaluation approaches. It discusses advantages and disadvantages of these, with the goal of identifying summarization techniques most suitable to speech summarization. Precision/recall schemes, as well as summary accuracy measures which incorporate weightings based on multiple human decisions, are suggested as particularly suitable in evaluating speech summaries.
