A biography of a person is the detailed description of several life events including his education, work, relationships and death. Wikipedia, the free web-based encyclopedia, consists of millions of manually curated biographies of eminent politicians, film and sports personalities, etc. However, manual curation efforts, even though efficient, suffers from significant delays. In this work, we propose an automatic biography generation framework BioGen. BioGen generates a short collection of biographical sentences clustered into multiple events of life. Evaluation results show that biographies generated by BioGen are significantly closer to manually written biographies in Wikipedia. A working model of this framework is available at nlpbiogen.herokuapp.com/home/
