Abstract
A method of automatically generating feature probabilities that allow later automatic generation of document extracts. The computer system generates the probabilities by analyzing each document a document at a time. First, the computer system designates one of the documents as a selected document. Next, the computer system analyzes each sentence of the selected document to determine the value of the paragraph feature and the value of the uppercase feature. The computer system repeats this effort for each document of the document corpus. Afterward, the number of occurrences of each value of each feature is calculated and is used to calculate feature value probabilities for all of the features.
