Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure may be utilized to analyze a content item comprising text to identity: a quote, a named entity that is the source of the quote (e.g., a person or organization such as a company), and identification information for the named entity (such as a title of the person giving the quote). Quotes may also be ranked to determine, for example, the best quotes to include in an article.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, content items, each of the content items associated with a topic;
- analyzing, by the processor, each content item to identify a plurality of quotes and to identify a named entity for each of the quotes, each named entity associated with a respective quote being a source of the respective quote;
- extracting, by the processor, keywords in each quote;
- ranking, by the processor, the quotes based on a relevance of the keywords to the topic of the content items;
- determining, by the processor, a subset of the quotes based on the ranking;
- generating, by the processor, the article using the subset of quotes and the content items, the generating the article comprising:
- generating a summary page for the article, the summary page including a subset of the content items, at least one selected quote from the subset of quotes, and a link to one or more detail pages, the summary page displaying text of the selected quote and a named entity associated with the selected quote,
- generating the one or more detail pages, the detail pages including a remainder of the content items not included in the subset of the content items, and
- combining the summary page and the one or more detail pages to form the article, the combining comprising arranging the summary page for initial display upon receipt of the article;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor, the article to a client device for display, the display comprising displaying the summary page upon receipt of the article and displaying the one or more detail pages upon detecting a selection of the link to one or more detail pages or detecting a scrolling of the article.

A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- a storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising:
- content item receiving logic executed by the processor for receiving content items, each of the content items associated with a topic;
- content item analyzing logic executed by the processor for analyzing each content item to identify a plurality of quotes and to identify a named entity for each of the quotes, each named entity associated with a respective quote being a source of the respective quote;
- keyword analyzing logic executed by the processor for extracting keywords in each quote;
- quote ranking logic executed by the processor for ranking the quotes based on a relevance of the keywords to the topic of the content items;
- quote determining logic executed by the processor for determining a subset of the quotes based on the ranking;
- article generating logic executed by the processor for generating the article using the subset of quotes and the content items, the generating the article comprising:
- generating a summary page for the article, the summary page including a subset of the content items, at least one selected quote from the subset of quotes, and a link to one or more detail pages, the summary page displaying text of the selected quote and a named entity associated with the selected quote,
- generating the one or more detail pages, the detail pages including a remainder of the content items not included in the subset of the content items, and
- combining the summary page and the one or more detail pages to form the article, the combining comprising arranging the summary page for initial display upon receipt of the article;
- and
- article transmitting logic executed by the processor for transmitting the article to a client device for display, the display comprising displaying the summary page upon receipt of the article and displaying the one or more detail pages upon detecting a selection of the link to one or more detail pages or detecting a scrolling of the article.
