G-Flow is an automatic extractive summarization system that seeks to balance coherence
and salience. G-Flow introduces a joint model for selection and ordering that balances
coherence and salience. G-Flow's core representation is a graph that approximates the
discourse relations across sentences based on indicators including discourse cues,
deverbal nouns, co-reference, and more. This graph enables G-Flow to estimate the
coherence of a candidate summary. G-Flow was developed at the University of Washington's
Turing Center.
