Abstract
Described is a summarizing a web entity (e.g., a person, place, product or so forth) based upon the entity's appearance in web documents (e.g., on the order of hundreds of millions or billions of webpages). Webpages are separated into blocks, which are then processed according to various features to filter the number of blocks to further process, and rank the most relevant blocks with respect to the entity that remain. A redundancy removal mechanism removes redundant blocks, leaving a set of remaining blocks that are used to provide a summary of information that is relevant to the entity.
