Abstract
A relevant factoid(s) related to multimedia data is generated by splitting a multimedia item into a media component and a text component. Text information is retrieved relevant to text data from the text component using a query. The text information is summarized into a factoid. Source data is checked for an image based on the multimedia component. A current state image is generated from the image. The factoid and the current state image are combined into a combined factoid, and the combined factoid is stored for sending to a media outlet for presentation on a media format.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for automatic retrieval of multimedia data and generation of a relevant factoid(s) related to the multimedia data, comprising:
- splitting a multimedia item, received at a computer, into a media component and a text component;
- retrieving text information relevant to text data from the text component using a query;
- summarizing the text information into a text factoid;
- checking source data of the media component for an image;
- generating a current state image based on the image;
- combining the text factoid and the current state image into a multimedia factoid;
- and
- storing the multimedia factoid for sending the multimedia factoid to a media outlet for presentation on a media format.
A system for automatic retrieval of multimedia data and generation of a relevant factoid(s) related to the multimedia data, which comprises:
- a computer system comprising;
- a computer processor, a computer-readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium being executable by the processor, to cause the computer system to perform the following functions to;
- split a multimedia item, received at a computer, into a media component and a text component;
- retrieve text information relevant to text data from the text component using a query;
- summarize the text information into a text factoid;
- check source data of the media component for an image;
- generate a current state image based on the image;
- combine the text factoid and the current state image into a multimedia factoid;
- and
- store the multimedia factoid for sending the multimedia factoid to a media outlet for presentation on a media format.
A computer program product for automatic retrieval of multimedia data and generation of a relevant factoid(s) related to the multimedia data, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform functions, by the computer, comprising the functions to:
- split a multimedia item, received at a computer, into a media component and a text component;
- retrieve text information relevant to text data from the text component using a query;
- summarize the text information into a text factoid;
- check source data of the media component for an image;
- generate a current state image based on the image;
- combine the text factoid and the current state image into a multimedia factoid;
- and
- store the multimedia factoid for sending the multimedia factoid to a media outlet for presentation on a media format.
