Given that we have a framework for generating general summaries, and the current popularity of the query-focused summarization task, we propose that the bulk of future work in this area be focused on the query-focused task specifically in assessing the relevance of a summary to a provided query.
we intend to pursue future research in utilizing word-sense disambiguation and synonyms, as well as other techniques for furthering REAPER's query similarity metrics in order to improve its ROUGE and human evaluation scores on query-focused tasks.
