    We describe our entry into the DUC 2004 automatic document
    summarization competition.  We competed only in the single document,
    headline generation task.  Our system is based on a novel kernel
    dubbed the tree position kernel, combined with two other well-known
    kernels.  Our system performs well on white-box evaluations, but does
    very poorly in the overall DUC evaluation.  However, the latter
    results are offset by the fact that baseline systems consistently
    outperform well engineered systems.
