Member Function Documentation

void Summarizer::addPassage ( Passage & psg ) [pure virtual]

Append a new passage to the list the summarizer will use to generate summary. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

void Summarizer::clear ( void ) [pure virtual]

Clear all scores and passages from the summarizer. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

int Summarizer::fetchPassages ( Passage psgs[], int optLen ) [pure virtual]

Place marked passages into an array. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

void Summarizer::iterClear ( void ) [pure virtual]

Reset to the first summarized passage (in conjunction with nextPassage). Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

void Summarizer::markPassages ( int optLen, char * qInfo ) [pure virtual]

Flag optLen passages for inclusion in summary. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

int Summarizer::nextPassage ( Passage * psg ) [pure virtual]

Get the next passage in iterative manner. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

void Summarizer::outputSumm ( void ) [pure virtual]

General purpose "send summary to stdout" function. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

void Summarizer::scorePassages ( const char * qInfo ) [pure virtual]

Score ALL passages currently in this summarizer, optionally given query terms. Reimplemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

void Summarizer::summDocument ( const char * docID, const int optLen, const char * qInfo ) [pure virtual]
