Passage-based retrieval models have been studied for some time and have been shown to
have some benefits for document ranking. Finding passages that are not only topically
relevant, but are also answers to the users' questions would have a significant impact in
applications such as mobile search. To develop models for answer passage retrieval, we

Passage-based retrieval models have been studied for some time and have been shown to have some benefits for document ranking. Finding passages that are not only topically relevant, but are also answers to the users' questions would have a significant impact in applications such as mobile search. To develop models for answer passage retrieval, we need to have appropriate test collections and evaluation measures. Making annotations at the passage level is, however, expensive and can have poor coverage. In this paper, we describe the advantages of document summarization measures for evaluating answer passage retrieval and show that these measures have high correlation with existing measures and human judgments.
