Systems and methods for sentence based interactive topic-based text summarization
First Claim
1. A method of determining sentence based interactive topic-based text summaries comprising the steps of:
- dynamically determining a text to summarize;
dynamically determining at least one segment of the determined text to summarize;
dynamically determining at least one discrete sentence based interactive topic-based text summary based on a summary type and a determined segment based on a statistical measure of the segment characterization and segment differentiation;
dynamically determining a subtopic development by recursively repeating the step of determining at least one discrete sentence based interactive topic-based text summary, the subtopic development arranged as a hierarchy including at least one subtopic of the at least one discrete sentence based interactive topic-based text summary;
storing in an electronic memory storage at least one discrete sentence based interactive topic based text summary based on the at least one determined text segment based summary type; and
,displaying the at least one discrete sentence based interactive topic based text summary.

Abstract
Techniques for determining sentence based interactive topic-based summarization are provided. A text to be summarized is segmented. Discrete keyword, key-phrase, n-gram, sentence and other sentence constituent based summaries are generated based on statistical measures for each text segment. Interactive topic-based summaries are displayed with human sensible omitted text indicators such as alternate colors, fonts, sounds, tactile elements or other human sensible display characteristics useful in indicating omitted text. Individual and/or combinations of discrete keyword, key-phrase, n-gram, sentence, noun phrase and sentence constituent based summaries are dynamically displayed to provide an overview of topic and subtopic development within a text. A hierarchical and interactive display of texts based on the use of discrete sentence constituent based summaries which associates expansible and contractible displayed text provides contextualized access to an interactive topic-based text summary and to an original text.

16. A system for determining sentence based interactive topic-based text summaries comprising:
-
an input/output circuit for receiving, a selected sentence constituent based summary type, a selected text and a dynamically determined portion of text to summarize; a processor that retrieves the selected text based on the summary type from the input/output circuit, segments the text and determines a text segment to summarize; a statistical measure determining circuit for determining a statistical measure of segment characterization and segment differentiation of the at least one determined segment; and
wherein the processor segments the text into at least one segment and determines and prepares for display a discrete sentence based interactive topic-based text summary for at least one determined segment based on the statistical measure of the segment;dynamically determining a subtype development by recursively repeating the step of determining and preparing for display a discrete sentence based interactive topic-based text summary, the subtopic development arranged as a hierarchy including at least one subtopic of the at least one discrete sentence based interactive topic-based text summary. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34)
