| Abstract | We present an approach to summarisation based on the use of a question answering system to select the most relevant sentences. We used AnswerFinder, a question answering system that is being developed at Macquarie University. The sentences returned by AnswerFinder are further re-ranked and collated to produce the final summary. This system will serve as a baseline upon which we intend to develop methods more specific to the task of questiondriven summarisation. |
