Abstract

Systems and methods are introduced for evaluating the relevance of rich media material. A topic and a document are received, and the document is divided into various pieces. The relevance of each piece is evaluated with respect to the received topic, and these individual evaluations are combined in some way into a surrogate representation of the relevance.
