Abstract: Systems and methods identify and provide interesting facts about an entity. An example method includes selecting documents associated with at least one unique fact trigger, the documents being from a document repository. The method also includes generating entity-sentence pairs from the documents and, for a first entity of the entities represented by the entity-sentence pairs, clustering the entity-sentence pairs for the first entity using salient terms occurring in the sentence. The method also includes determining a representative sentence for each of the clusters and providing at least one of the representative sentences in response to a query that identifies the first entity. Another example method includes determining that a query relates to an entity in a knowledge base, determining that the entity has an associated unique fact list, and providing at least one of the unique facts in the list in response to the query.
