Abstract
Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements of managing summaries provided to end users. In one implementation, a summary service identifies data objects that correspond to an event and classifies each of the data objects into classifications of interest. Once classified, data objects are compared between the different classifications to identify information differences, and the information differences are used to generate a summary for an end user of the summary service.
Claims20
A method of operating a summary service to provide event summarization, the method comprising:
- identifying data objects that qualify for an event from a plurality of data objects obtained from a plurality of information sources;
- identifying two or more classifications of interest for the event;
- for each data object in the data objects that qualify for the event, determining whether the data object qualifies for a classification of interest of the two or more classifications of interest;
- when the data object qualifies for a classification of interest of the two or more classifications of interest, classifying the data object as part of the classification of interest;
- determining information differences between data objects in different classifications of the two or more classifications;
- and
- generating a summary based on the information differences.
A computing apparatus comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- a processing system operatively coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media to provide event summarization that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
- identify data objects that qualify for an event from a plurality of data objects obtained from a plurality of information sources;
- identify two or more classifications of interest for the event;
- for each data object in the data objects that qualify for the event, determine whether the data object qualifies for a classification of interest of the two or more classifications of interest;
- when the data object qualifies for a classification of interest of the two or more classifications of interest, classify the data object as part of the classification of interest;
- determine information differences between data objects in different classifications of the two or more classifications;
- and
- generate a summary based on the information differences.
A method of operating a summary service to provide a summary of an event, the method comprising:
- for each data object in a plurality of data objects that provide information for the event, determine whether the data object qualifies for a classification of interest of two or more classifications of interest;
- when the data object qualifies for a classification of interest of the two or more classifications of interest, classifying the data object as part of the classification of interest;
- determining information differences between data objects in different classifications of the two or more classifications;
- scoring each information difference of the information differences based at least on a relevance of the information difference to an event type for the event;
- and
- generating a summary based on the scores for each information difference of the information differences.
