How NewsFeed Researcher helps to cope with information overload? Though news feeds provide valuable information aggregation, it is still easy to misspertinent data when looking through a whole news cluster consisting of hundreds orthousands of relevant papers. With the NewsFeed Researcher multi-documentsummarization technology, it is now possible to digest any news feed clusteron-the-fly.
Why the new business information service is unique? It is backed by the NewsFeed Researcher engine that outputs a new type ofinformation products. The generated digest is characterized with several specificfeatures.
A. It is a comprehensive, extended summary of all gathered information as a whole.B. The generated digest itself contains the required information, limiting the needto access original documents.C. The summarization approach takes special care of outlining multiple key aspectsof a news topic, without sticking to the central news only. D. The composed digests are well-structured, and hence are easily manageable. Eachconsists of a brief outline (also serving as a contents), detailed thematic sectionsfocusing on particular subtopics, and references (with links to the most essentialsource documents). E. Though this is an automatic text compilation, readers hardly notice that, as thecompiled text is well-readable (composed of self-sufficient information items,meaningfully ordered, with highlighted subheadings, with no redundancy). F. Information summary can be built around any news category because the underlyingengine is domain-independent. G. Custom text compilations are focused on a user-indicated aspect, such asparticular type of events (mergers, acquisitions, etc) and/or logical relationships(like causes, effects, goals, comparisons, etc.). H. The digest can represent news clusters of any size, up to thousands of papers.
How to get a preview of the new information product before becoming a subscriber?To get taste of the new information product, the NewsFeed Researcher websitevisitors are invited to evaluate the free demo tool behind this service. The livedemo is running on top of the Google Business News. A user selects a cluster ofpapers related to any of the continuously updated news topics. The system returnsmulti-document summary built on-the-fly.
How the NewsFeed Researcher service is functioning?Unlike the demo users, subscribed customers do not have to access the systemdirectly - they just receive regular digests via e-mail. A customer provides afree-style description of the information need (e.g., a particular industry or agroup of companies) which is then "translated" into an automatic request used topick up stories from the news feeds. The engine monitors news sources and fetchespapers relevant to the requested topic. As the newsworthy papers accumulate, thesystem compiles a digest and pushes it out to the subscriber.
The system makes use of the wide-known news feeds, but also can be applied toindividual choice of websites preferred by a customer. As an example, an instance ofthe system is now running on a selection of websites covering the news related toaerospace & defense industry.
To sum up, the NewsFeed Researcher business service provides unparalleledpost-processing of news feeds, resulting in multi-document digests tailored to thecustomer's information need. Its main goal is to aid in making large amounts ofinformation easily manageable. NewsFeed Researcher information retrieval andcompilation of digest reports can be tailored to virtually any topic and informationresource.
