Motivation• Text summarization is one of the hardest problems in
information retrieval, because it is not very well-defined.
• There are various definitions of text summarization resulting from different approaches to solving the problem.
• There is often no agreement as to what a good summary is even when we are dealing with a particular definition of the problem.

Conclusions
In the paper, we have also demonstrated the
effectiveness of our method as applied to two classical
IR problems, extractive text summarization and passage
retrieval for question answering.

CommentsI think the method improved retrieval performance and comparable to human summarizers.Applications
- Text summarization- Information retrieval
