Abstract

Automated rich presentation of a semantic topic is described. In one aspect, respective portions of multimodal information corresponding to a semantic topic are evaluated to locate events associated with the semantic topic. The probability that a document belongs to an event is determined based on document inclusion of one or more of persons, times, locations, and keywords, and document distribution along a timeline associated with the event. For each event, one or more documents objectively determined to be substantially representative of the event are identified. One or more other types of media (e.g., video, images, etc.) related to the event are then extracted from the multimodal information. The representative documents and the other media are for presentation to a user in a storyboard.
