Automated slide comparator

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer readable memory in circuit communication with the processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium in circuit communication with the processor;
• wherein the processor executes program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby:
• in response to an identification of an input slide, generates text content confidence scores that represent amounts of similarity of slide text content of the input slide to compared text content of a plurality of slides that are included within slide presentation files of a repository;
• generates graphic element content confidence scores that represent amounts of similarity of graphic content of the input slide to compared graphic element content of the respective ones of the plurality of slides;
• generates similarity confidence scores for each of the respective ones of the plurality of slides as functions of weighted averages of the text content confidence scores and the graphic element content confidence scores generated for the respective ones of the plurality of slides, wherein the graphic element content confidence scores are weighted differently from the text content confidence scores;
• and
• ranks the plurality of slides for similarity to the input slide as a function of the generated similarity confidence scores.

A computer program product for automated slide content comparison, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for execution by a processor that cause the processor to:
• in response to an identification of an input slide, generate text content confidence scores that represent amounts of similarity of slide text content of the input slide to compared text content of a plurality of slides that are included within slide presentation files of a repository;
• generate graphic element content confidence scores that represent amounts of similarity of graphic content of the input slide to compared graphic element content of the respective ones of the plurality of slides;
• generate similarity confidence scores for each of the respective ones of the plurality of slides as functions of weighted averages of the text content confidence scores and the graphic element content confidence scores generated for the respective ones of the plurality of slides, wherein the graphic element content confidence scores are weighted differently from the text content confidence scores;
• and
• rank the plurality of slides for similarity to the input slide as a function of the generated similarity confidence scores.
