Query Focus Guided Sentence Selection Strategy for DUC 2006
Wenjie Li, Baoli Li, Mingli Wu · 2006
This paper presents our new query-based multi-document summarization system for DUC 2006. It is an extended version of a generic multi-document summarization system developed previously (namely PoluS 1.0) which incorporates latent semantic analysis (LSA) technology. To make the generated summaries satisfying user’s information need as possible as we can, we propose a query focus guided sentence selection strategy. The evaluation results show that our system ranks in the middle among 34 submitted systems. Although there is still room to improve the current version of PoluS, it provides a good framework for our future research on multi-document summarization. 1
