Abstract

This demo showcases a Web application that allows users to easily obtain a summary that is automatically generated taking into account the information provided by other users on the Internet. The application integrates several types of summaries, outlining the most relevant positive opinions, negative and both about restaurants and hotels. In addition, it provides multimodal information, such as graphics, maps or pictures. The results obtained from an on-line questionnaire conducted with real users reveals the potential and usefulness of such an application in the current society.
