Abstract

The present paper describes the development of a language independent query focused snippet generation module. This module takes the query and content of each retrieved document and generates a query dependent snippet for each retrieved document. The algorithm of this module based on the sentence extraction, sentence scoring and sentence ranking. Subjective evaluation has been. English snippet got the best evaluation score, i.e. 1 and overall average evaluation score of 0.83 has been achieved in the scale of 0 to 1.
