    <Paragraph position="0"> The authors would like to thank Slava M. Katz, whose insights and insistence on quality work helped push the first part of the research forward. We are also indebted to Susan Lee of the University of California. Berkeley* for providing empirical validation of the segment significance through her key sentence extraction system. Thanks are also due to Yaakov Yaari of Bar-llan University, for helping us hunt down additional segmentation corpora. Finally. we thank the anonymous reviewers and the Columbia natural language group members, whose careful critiques led to a more careful evaluation of the paper's techniques.</Paragraph>
