In this paper, we describe our guided summarization system that participated in the TAC 2011 competition. We submitted two runs for the guided summarization task by following a random walk paradigm. Two different approaches were applied for the update component to create two runs of our guided summarization system: 1) using ROUGE (RecallOriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation), and 2) using Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). Evaluation results are shown to compare the performance of the two runs.
