Abstract
In this paper we couple a Q/A system with a summarizer and claim that an automatic summarizer coupled with a Q/A system will increase the efficiency of the Q/A system. Coupling a question-answering system with a text-summarization system may make the question-answering system more efficient without significantly altering the quality of results. This paper investigates methods to develop an extractive summarizer which aims to select the most important sentences which could be a possible answer to a given query.
