Biased LexRank: Passage retrieval using random walks with question-based priors
2009
Information Processing & Management
Preserved Fulltext
We present Biased LexRank, a method for semi-supervised passage retrieval in the context of question answering. ...
We then perform a random walk on the lexical similarity graph in order to recursively retrieve additional passages that are similar to other relevant passages. ...

With this formulation, we propose a novel technique to improve the performance using a knowledge base. ...
The main rationale of the approach is to extract important text features of the original text by detecting important entities in a knowledge base. ...
The method allows topic, or query, sensitive sentence retrieval with weighted random-walk based on a prior distribution of sentence ranks, performing well on both extractive text summarization and passage ...
