Detecting Interesting Event Sequences for Sports Reporting
François Lareau, Mark Dras, Robert Dale · 2011
Hand-crafted approaches to content determination are expensive to port to new domains. Machine-learned approaches, on the other hand, tend to be limited to relatively simple selection of items from data sets. We observe that in time series domains, textual descriptions often aggregate a series of events into a compact description. We present a simple technique for automatically determining sequences of events that are worth reporting, and evaluate its effectiveness. 1
