We propose an extractive summarization architecture based on several scores and state-of-the-art techniques. We also present our novel prosper-thy-neighbour strategies to improve performance. Our model has been proven to be effective with the best ROUGE-1/ROUGE-L scores, being the shared task runner up by ROUGE-2 F1 score (over 13 participated teams). %R 10.18653/v1/2021.bionlp-1.36 %U https://aclanthology.org/2021.bionlp-1.36 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2021.bionlp-1.36 %P 311-319
