SUMMARIZATION

One of the biggest challenges of analyzing large volumes of material is in knowing where to begin. Content Analyst technology dramatically accelerates the analysis process by instantly identifying key sentences that most accurately represent the prevailing concepts within a single document or across a collection of documents.
The interface for this feature allows the user to quickly change the length of the summaries they would like to view. Content Analyst technology can summarize any document that can be represented in the Unicode® encoding system.

• Use Case Example 1:
  Identifying Key or Common Concepts
  Teams of independent inspectors are dispatched to review security at military installations, with each team documenting their findings in a report. Content Analyst technology can summarize the most salient concepts contained in all reports.
  
  
• Use Case Example 2:
  Summarization of News Articles or Reports
  Content Analyst technology can review a single lengthy news article or report, highlighting key concepts and themes to provide a useful summary.

Content Analyst Technology in Action: Summarization

Content Analyst technology can pinpoint passages that most accurately represent the most prevailing concepts within a given text. The result is the ability to develop a quick summary of the text based on those salient points. In the example below, Content Analyst technology is applied to the 2006 State of the Union address. Results are delivered as "Best Concepts".

Summary Results: the 2006 State of the Union Address

Best concept 1:
As we make progress on the ground, and Iraqi forces increasingly take the lead, we should be able to further decrease our troop levels -- but those decisions will be made by our military commanders, not by politicians in Washington, D.C.

Best concept 2:
Tonight I propose to train 70,000 high school teachers, to lead advanced-placement courses in math and science, bring 30,000 math and science professionals to teach in classrooms, and give early help to students who struggle with math, so they have a better chance at good, high-wage jobs.

Best concept 3:
Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research -- human cloning in all its forms -- creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.
