Search strings generated from the topics are used to search the database for matching stories. Representative images for the matching stories are then chosen from the database, and headlines are created based on the story content. For a topic-based cover page, a topic is selected and is used to search the database for matching stories. The cover page, comprising the image and information about the theme, topic, or story, is then created and displayed, with clickable elements to view more information about the theme, topic, or story.

Inventors:

Kenneth Alexander Ellis - Hoboken NJ, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 5

Abstract:

Ambiguous entities extracted from an article are disambiguated to determine an entity type. Entities are extracted, combined, and entity aliases are created. The entity type is determined by searching a disambiguation database for matching pages in a digital encyclopedia database. A score is computed for each entity and entity alias according to a number of links in the matching pages, and according to a page popularity for the matching pages in the disambiguation database. The highest scoring entity alias is selected and the entity type is the page type of the matching page. Abstracts for the entities may also be retrieved from the matching pages.
