SUMMARIST: Automated Text Summarization There is a text summarization project called SUMMARIST. Apparently it is able to perform abstractive text summarization. I want to give it a try but unfortunately the demo links on the website do not work. Does anybody have any information regarding this? How can I test this tool?

It dates back to 1998, so most likely has been abandoned, or "acquired" by Microsoft as the creator currently works there and has done since publishing that research.

and http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/cyl for the author. Maybe you could try to contact him.
