SUMMARIZING STREAMS OF INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for summarizing a stream of information, the computer-implemented method comprising performing computer-implemented operations for:
- receiving data corresponding to the stream of information;
identifying entities in the stream of information;
grouping the data into clusters corresponding to the identified entities;
summarizing the data in the clusters and defining a timeline relating to the data in the clusters; and
generating a summarized stream based, at least partially, upon the summarized data and the defined timeline.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are described herein for summarizing streams of information. A stream of information is obtained and analyzed. One or more entities are identified in the stream. The data in the stream is grouped into one or more clusters corresponding to the identified entities. The data in the clusters is summarized, and a timeline corresponding to the data in the cluster is determined. In some embodiments, a format can be selected for presentation of the summarized stream data. The data in the stream can be formatted in the selected format, and the summarized data can be presented in the selected format. In some embodiments, an update feature can be used to update the data in the summarized stream. The data in the stream can be updated, and the updated summarized stream can be formatted and presented.

20. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereupon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
receive data corresponding to the stream of information; identify a plurality of entities in the stream of information, at least one of the plurality of entities comprising a topic of the data in the stream of information; group the data into at least one cluster corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of identified entities; summarize the data in the at least one cluster and defining a timeline relating to the data in the at least one cluster; generate a summarized stream, the summarized stream comprising a summary of the data in the at least one cluster and a timeline relating to the data in the at least one cluster; determine a format for presentation of the summarized stream; format the summarized stream in accordance with the determined format; present the summarized stream in the determined format; retrieve an updated version of the data in the stream; update the summarized stream to obtain an updated summarized stream reflecting the summarized stream and the updated version of the data in the stream; format the updated summarized stream in accordance with the determined format; and present the updated summarized stream in the determined format.
