This paper provided an overview of passage retrieval, including approaches of division of documents and retrieval algorithms. The difference between text segmentation and passage extraction is also discussed. Several kinds of passage retrieval algorithms and several approach of division of documents are introduced. After comparing of these algorithms and approaches, some research directions of passage retrieval are presented.
