8 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have presented a system which ranks sentences such that the answer to a users query will be presented on average in under 300 bytes.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This system does this by finding entities and events shared by the query and the documents and by modeling coreference relationships between them. While this is a preliminary investigation and many areas of interest have yet to be explored, the reduction in the amount of text the user must process, to obtain the answers they want, is already dramatic.</Paragraph>
