Publication number: 20140156437Abstract: A method and system for automatically generating a self-updating naturally-reading narrative product summary including assertions about a selected product. In one embodiment, the system and method includes evaluating an existing narrative product summary, comparing an existing attribute name, attribute value, attribute unit, and assertion model, respectively, to a current attribute name, attribute value, attribute unit, and assertion model to determine if one of the comparisons shows a change. The system and method further determines a new attribute associated with the selected product, selects an alternative product, retrieves a new assertion model with assertions that describe the selected product and identify an alternative product in a natural manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: CBS Interactive Inc.Inventors: Daniel R. BARAN, Timothy Allen MUSGROVE, Robin Hiroko WALSH
