Abstract	Given huge amount of daily news articles, it would be helpful to users if the news reading time can be reduced. In this paper, we focus on single-document summarization for Chinese news articles with statistical methods. First, new vocabularies are collected from news articles, and verified with online translation services. These are included as the auxiliary lexicon. Then, statistical word segmentation is done by calculating the relative frequency of overlapping word n-grams. Finally, the sentence importance is estimated as the weighted sum of n-gram scores, and the top-ranked sentences are selected as the summary. The experimental results showed that generated summaries can be effectively clustered in the same group as the original news articles. A great reduction in storage size can be observed while preserving suitable similarity with the original document. This shows the potential of our proposed approach in news summarization. Further investigation is needed to verify in other document domains.
