== Abstract ==
Although a lot has been done for Visually Impaired People to access
information with Braille screens, Braille keyboards, Braille PDAs and
Text-to-Speech interfaces, very little has been made to reduce the
amount of information they have to deal with. In this presentation, we
propose an automatic summarization system to ease web browsing for
visually impaired people on handheld devices. In particular, we
introduce different efficient methods for summarizing parts of web pages
in real-time and include Text-to-Speech facilities. Two main approaches
have already been proposed in the literature. First, some methodologies
such as [1] [3] use simple summarization techniques to produce results
in real-time but clearly lack linguistic treatment for reliable content
visualization. Second, some works apply linguistic processing and rely
on ad hoc heuristics [2] to produce compressed contents but can not be
used in real-time environment. As a consequence, we propose a new
architecture for summarizing Semantic Textual Units [1] based on
efficient algorithms for linguistic treatment that allow real-time
processing and deeper linguistic analysis of web pages, thus allowing
quality content visualization. In this talk, we will also present the
VIP-ACCESS project and the different talks that the members of the
Centre for Human Language Technology and Bioinformatics will deliver.
