Resumo


This paper proposes a process that modifies the presentation of a query answer to improve the quality of the user’s experience. The process is particularly useful when the answer is long and repetitive. The process reorganizes the original query answer by applying heuristics to summarize the results and to select template questions that create a user dialog that guides the presentation of the results.
