Abstract:

Functional summarization of non-textual content based on a meta-algorithmic pattern is disclosed. One example is a system including a converter, a plurality of summarization engines and/or meta-algorithmic patterns, an extractor, and an evaluator. The converter converts the non-textual content into a plurality of tokens. Combinations of summarization engines and/or meta-algorithm patterns are applied to the plurality of tokens to provide a meta-summary. The extractor extracts at least one summarization term from the meta-summary, and at least one class term for each given class of a plurality of classes of non-textual content. The evaluator determines similarity values of the non-textual content over each given class, each similarity value indicative of a similarity between the at least one summarization term and the at least one class term for each given class. The selector selects a class of the plurality of classes, the selecting based on the determined similarity values.
