Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements of managing summaries provided to end users. In one implementation, a summary service provides a user with identifier for a plurality of events, and obtains a selection from the user, wherein the selection identifies a first type of summary for an event in the plurality of events. The summary service further provides the user with a first summary of the first type for the event, identifies one or more suggested types of summaries for the event based at least in part on data points for the event, and provides the one or more suggested types of summaries to the user.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein provides a summary of a predicted timeline for an event that has yet to occur. In a particular implementation, a method provides identifying a first event that has yet to occur. The method further provides identifying first data objects from a plurality of data objects obtained from a plurality of information sources. The first data objects include information pertinent to the first event. The method also provides extracting first time information relevant to the first event from the first data objects, determining a confidence level for each portion of the first time information, and generating a summary of the first time information based on the confidence level for each portion of the first time information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable generating a multi-reference event summary, an event detection module monitors one or more information sources. A collection module receives instructions from the event detection module to collect references that relate to a detected event. Collected references can be evaluated for their suitability and content and may be provided to a summarizing engine by the collection module. Various references may be used to obtain character strings that can be assembled to create the event summary. Moreover, additional content relating to the detected event may be appended to enhance the summary and metadata (e.g., regarding references considered, utilized, etc.) attached to and/or included in the event summary.
