4. Presentation Model
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Two models, i.e., focusing inodel and browsing model, are proposed to display the sumlnarization results. In the focusing model, a SUlnlnarization is presented by voting fi'om reporters. For each event, a reporter records a news story from his own viewpoint. Recall that a news article is composed of several MUs.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Those MUs that are similar in a specific event are COlnmon focuses of different reporters. In other words, they are worthy of reading. In the current ilnplementation, the MUs that are reported more than once are our target. For readability, the original sentences that cover the MUs are selected.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> For each set of similar MUs, the longest sentence in user-preferred language is displayed. The display order of the selected sentences is determined by relative position in the original news articles.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> In the browsing lnodel, the news articles are listed by information decay. The first news article is shown to the user in its whole content. In the latter shown news articles, the MUs denoting the inforlnation mentioned before are shadowed (or eliminated), so that the reader can focus on the new information. The alnount of information in a news article is lneasured in terms of the number of MUs, so that the article that contains lnore MUs is displayed before the others. For readability, a sentence is a display unit. In this model, users can read both the COlnmon views and different views of reporters. It saves the reading time by listing the colnlno11 view only once.</Paragraph>
