Abstract

Systems and methods associated with external resource identification are disclosed. One example method may be embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions. The instructions, when executed by a computer may cause the computer to perform the method. The method includes classifying a segment of a document into a member of a set of topics discussed within the document. The method also includes identifying, based on the structure of the segment and keywords from the segment, information that a reader of the document could seek upon reading the segment. The method also includes obtaining, based on the member of the set of topics, a set of candidate external resources that potentially contain the information. The method also includes presenting, in response to a user interaction with the document, a member of the set of candidate external resources identified as being likely to contain the information.
