“…Subsequently, various phrase display options were added to TEXNET. When called upon for a phrase display of the first kind developed (Craven, in press), the software begins by selecting phrases from the full text on the basis of word frequency. All “frequent,” and no “infrequent,” nonstop words are selected as one‐word phrases.…”

Experimental subjects wrote abstracts of articles using a simplified version of the TEXNET abstracting assistance software. In addition to the full text, subjects were presented with either keywords or phrases extracted automatically. The resulting abstracts, and the times taken, were recorded automatically; some additional information was gathered by oral questionnaire. Selected abstracts produced were evaluated on various criteria by independent raters. Results showed considerable variation among subjects, but 37% found the keywords or phrases “quite” or “very” useful in writing their abstracts. Statistical analysis failed to support several hypothesized relations: phrases were not viewed as significantly more helpful than keywords; and abstracting experience did not correlate with originality of wording, approximation of the author abstract, or greater conciseness. Requiring further study are some unanticipated strong correlations including the following: Windows experience and writing an abstract like the author's; experience reading abstracts and thinking one had written a good abstract; gender and abstract length; gender and use of words and phrases from the original text. Results have also suggested possible modifications to the TEXNET software.

Pattern technology of writing is widely used in machine writing systems. In pattern technology, there are two core issues about chunk as writing material in the pattern. One is chunk retrieval, the other is chunk packing. In this study, we focus on the problem of chunk retrieval and packing with given style, topic and content of practical writing. We proposed the concept of chunk, and discussed the method of chunk retrieval in context. Then we studied the approach of chunk packing. Differ from general packing problem, chunk packing is affected by several special factors: stylistic features, writing model, literal semantic and etc. These require the intelligence of human. Thus our chunk packing approach is based on manmachine cooperation genetic algorithm. The man-machine cooperation approach can realize the integration of the human and the machine to finish the writing process.
