Electronic editor: automatic content-based sequential compilation of newspaper articles

摘要

New information carriers, such as electronic books and MP3 players, can be utilized for displaying customized content. Using these carriers, however, only browsing forwards and backwards is easy. The crucial question in making these carriers user-friendly is then to construct an order of presentation that enhances readability. We have developed a tool that uses the self-organizing map algorithms of Kohonen to automatically organize a collection of text articles into a meaningful content-based sequential order.
