Sentence compression is a method of text summarisation, 
where each sentence in a text is shortened in such a way 
as to retain the original information and grammatical 
correctness as much as possible. In a previous paper, we 
formulated the problem of sentence compression as an 
optimisation problem of extracting a subsequence of phrases 
from the original sentence that maximises the sum of topical 
importance and grammatical correctness. Based on this 
formulation an efficient sentence compression algorithm 
was derived. This paper reports a result of subjective 
evaluation for the quality of sentences compressed by using 
the algorithm.
