7. FUTURE WORK
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We plan to undertake a number of further experiments, examining through tests, the ability of people to locate descriptions within the retrieved sentences. In addition, it was notable that the results of the full experiment were not as good as those from the pilot study. One difference between the two tests was the number of web documents examined: 100 top-ranked documents in the pilot; 600 for the expanded experiment. Given that a search engine generally retrieves more relevant documents in the higher ranks, there is likely to be more noise lower down. It is also significant that the search engine used was Google, which uses the page rank authority measure ([1]) to enhance its ranking. Therefore, we speculate that use of an authority measure can be used to further improve the quality of our DPF. This will be investigated in future work.</Paragraph>
