Statistical Summarization at QA@INEX 2011 Track Using Cortex and Enertex Systems

  • Conference paper
Focused Retrieval of Content and Structure (INEX 2011)

Abstract

The Enertex system is based on a statistical physics approach. It transforms a document on a spins (words present/absent) system. A summary is obtained using the sentences with large spins interactions. In another way, the Cortex system is constructed of several different sentence selection metrics and a decision module. Our experiments have shown that the Cortex decision on the metrics always scores better than each system alone. In the INEX@QA 2011 Question Answering Track, the strategy used by Cortex system obtains very good results in automatic evaluations FRESA.
