Constructing content based on multi-sentence compression of source content

A computer implemented method for generating content based on graph-based sentence compression using retrieved source content present in a corpus, the method comprising:

• obtaining source content relevant to an input snippet;
• utilizing a graphical representation of a plurality of sentences from the source content to identify a set of sentences in the relevant source content having overlapping information;
• generating a candidate sentence by compressing content in the set of sentences having overlapping information;
• generating a final content comprising a set of candidate sentences including the candidate sentence;
• and
• providing the final content as content automatically created in response to the input snippet.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, coupled with the one or more processors, having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to provide:
• means for identifying a set of sentences in source content having overlapping information, the set of sentences being relevant to an input snippet;
• means for generating a candidate sentence by compressing content in the set of sentences having overlapping information;
• and
• means for generating a final content comprising a set of candidate sentences including the candidate sentence.
