Web Summarizer and mind mapping on the iPad

Monday, August 30th, 2010
 
One of the advantages of cloud services is the ability to access your information over the web from any device, any operating system and any browser.  This provides great flexibility and eliminates many barriers on using and sharing information.
 
Context Discovery specializes in bringing summarization solutions to empower users by converting web pages and documents into instant summaries.  You can think about summarization as document search engine instantly pointing you to the most relevant information.
 
Recently we deployed the Web Summarizer for our beta users. The Web Summarizer offers summarization of web pages and creation of knowledge repositories. Another feature is to provide mind mappers the ability to convert web pages and documents into mind maps.  
 
When recently Brian Friedlander started to use iPad, he tested it with the Web Summarizer. First he accessed the Web Summarizer application and created summaries on the iPad. And secondly he created mind maps from the summaries. Since Mindjet MindManager does not offer yet an iPad version the mind map was automatically created using iThoughstHD.
 
For details you can check Brian’s excellent blog:  Context Summarizer on the iPad
 

If you would like to learn more about the summarization technologies please download Context Organizer for free today.

Context Organizer is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

There is a need to automatically create key phrases

Monday, April 26th, 2010
 
Key phrases are meant to serve multiple goals:
 
   1.  They enable the reader to quickly determine whether the given article is of interest
 
   2.  When key phrases are gathered in the cumulative index – the goal is indexing. They enable the reader to quickly find relevant content when the reader has a specific need.
 
   3.  A search that matches a given query term in the keyword field will yield a higher quality list of hits than a search for the same term in the full text of the documents.
 
Given the fact that we are inundated with information there is a need for tools that can automatically create key phrases. And paradoxically, although key phrases are very useful, only a small minority of the online documents provide key phrases.
 
The principle for choosing key phrases is that the key phrase list is relatively short  and it must contain only the most important, topical phrases for a given document.
 
Context Organizer  treats a document as a set of phrases which must be ranked in terms of relevancy. It  views key phrase determination as a classification problem.  The task is to classify content in the document into one of two categories: either it is a key phrase or it is not a key phrase. The software evaluates key phrases by the degree to which its classifications correspond to human-generated classifications.
 
A huge advantage of the product is that the use of Context Organizer does not require costly training. It works instantly. The applied genetic algorithm and statistical methods are applicable across any types of documents.
 
Key phrases serve diverse goals the main one being the ability to capture the most important topics of the documents.
 
And since a key phrase list can be read and judged in seconds the usefulness of this approach leads to practical applications. Once the key phrases are identified the contextual summaries are easily recognized and collected. The key phrases and summaries are a suitable candidates for mind mapping, generating briefings, reports, documents summaries,  indexes, back-of-the-book lists for browsing, profiling user interests, personalization of subscriptions and many more applications.
 
There are many ways to further customize summarization by creating keywords to watch and keywords to block lists. The biggest advantage of summarization is that it acts as content filtering applications. And in this sense it works in a similar way that we read text which is mostly by scanning and skimming.

Mind mapping Seth Godin’s ideas in Linchpin

Monday, March 1st, 2010

 

In his new book – Linchpin – Seth Godin asks:

Why are some people easily outsourced, downsized, or freelanced into obscurity, while others have their pick of opportunities?

To answer it Godin argues that it’s more essential than ever to become indispensable – to become a linchpin. Linchpins are the essential building blocks of great organizations: they invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos.

The attached mind map of Linchpin was originally authored by fordprefect in Mindjet MindManager Version 8 and published on Biggerplate.  I imported it to Comapping to be able to share it as an interactive mind map.

To navigate the map just click on the + or  – markers to expand or contract the map.

  

* This mind map was produced using Comapping collaborative mapping software with
Context Organizer automatic summarization.

Summarization is an effective form of text mapping

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
 

With the Context Organizer for MindManager a text summary is instantly converted into a MindManager map without any loss of relevant text content.

The automatic map generation frees the user from tedious map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping the visually mapped information.

 

Summaries lead the mind to focus on essential content. This enables faster evaluation and comprehension.  While summarising, the reader effectively engages in efficient contextual comprehension by gaining both the big picture and the detail expressions.

 
Summarization reveals text structures, while contextual associations are clearly revealed through highlighted keywords.
 
The Context Organizer provides the reader with the most relevant keywords as a guide to the most significant statements within the body of text.  The keywords work as quick filters enabling users to focus on the most relevant sentences of interest.
 
Further, the use of keywords navigates the reader through summarized content providing a superior visual format which is a more practical manager to rapid comprehension of content in context.
 
The advantage of using summarization for text mapping is that summarization provides the most accurate and direct text representation in the form of the most relevant keywords and sentences.
 
This direct approach by Context Organizer is superior to other graphical techniques which are abstract representations of text and always require further explanation.  Information mapping is a record of the reader’s comprehension, or lack of it. It’s not uncommon for graphical mapping to have little to do with the text, and the formats often used make it difficult to interpret, leaving too much for the reader to extrapolate and/or reconstruct.
 
Graphic organizers indeed have their place, I do however believe that summarization as a text mapping technique, effectively complements graphic organizers, by bridging the gap between texts and corresponding abstracted diagramming.
 
A summary as a text map provides superior expression for creating accurate and complete visual maps. This is one of the reasons that Context Organizer integrates seamlessly with Mindjet MindManager.

The Knowledge Discovery Challenge

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Context Organizer summaries instantly show you the "big picture" enabling you to quickly and visually understand large amounts of information, organized by relevancy so you instantly get clear view of the essential content.

Given the ever-increasing amounts of information we face today, it is necessary to find more effective methods for mining and discovering hidden knowledge.
