We introduce a model for extractive meeting summarization based on the hypothesis that utterances convey bits of information, or concepts. Using keyphrases as concepts weighted by...
In recent years second-order sufficient conditions of an isolated local minimizer for convex composite optimization problems have been established. In this paper, second-order opt...
