| Challenge: | Query-focused summarization of foreign-language documents can help a user understand whether a document is relevant to a query term. |
| Approach: | They propose to use machine translation and post-editing to improve human relevance judgments . they include a query term in a summary when its translation appears in the source document . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves human relevance judgments by including a query term in a summary when its translation appears in the source document. |
