  • Publication number: 20150317313
    Abstract: A user can select a name of an entity such as a character in a book. In response to the selection, the passages of the book are processed using entity frequency and passage length to determine passages that are relevant to the entity. These relevant passages are processed to determine which of the relevant passages are descriptive and are most likely to help a user understand the entity by identifying characteristics of helpful passages such as words that indicate particular actions, words that are associated with biographical information, or the location of the passage in the book. The most descriptive passages can be shown to the user on the computing device that he is using to view the book.

  • Patent number: 8713028
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing internet content, such as related news articles. One method includes an operation for defining a plurality of candidates based on a seed. For each candidate, scores are calculated for relevance, novelty, connection clarity, and transition smoothness. The score for connection clarity is based on a relevance score of the intersection between the words in the seed and the words in each of the candidates. Further, the score for transition smoothness measures the interest in reading each candidate when transitioning from the seed to the candidate. For each candidate, a relatedness score is calculated based on the calculated scores for relevance, novelty, connection clarity, and transition smoothness. In addition, at least one of the candidates is selected based on their relatedness scores for presentation to the user.
