Automatic Generation of Titles for a Corpus of Questions

This paper describes the followed methodology to automatically generate titles for a corpus of questions that belong to sociological opinion polls.

Thus, generation of titles can be considered as a case of automatic summarization. However, the fact that summarization had to be performed over very short texts together with the aforementioned quality conditions imposed on new generated titles led the authors to follow knowledge-rich and domain-dependent strategies for summarization, disregarding the more frequent extractive techniques for summarization.
