Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for generating improved document summaries that consider the amount of time that has passed since the user last accessed the document. The length of time that has passed since the user has accessed each previous portion of the document is used as a variable to determine how much the summary should focus on each of the previously read sections of the document. When a document is accessed by a user, a relevance score is assigned to content from previously accessed sections of that document, where the relevance score is weighted based on how long ago each of the sections was accessed by the user. Once the various content items of previous sections have been provided relevance scores, selected sentences with the highest relevance scores are fed to a deep learning sequence-to-sequence model is used to build the document summary.

The cold tier translation table is queried using the identifier of the virtual cluster descriptor to identify a storage location of the requested data, and the data is loaded to the file server from the identified storage location.
