APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A CONTENT SUMMARY

摘要

An apparatus comprises a grouping processor (103) grouping sequential events of a content item into event groups. A training data storage (107) comprises training data in the form of information for a large number of training content items comprising event class sequences. The training data comprises training content summaries for each of the training content items. The training content summaries comprise training summary items which are linked to the event class sequences. A rating processor (105) determines a rating for each group in response to a probability characteristic of the training data. The rating processor (105) determines how often information for an event class sequence corresponding to the event group is included in the training content items relative to the frequency at which this event class sequence occurs in the training data. A selection processor (109) selects event groups.
