Generating written content from knowledge management systems
The disclosure is directed to written content generation. A method for generating written content in an application in accordance with an embodiment includes: receiving a query from a user; importing data from at least one data source in response to the query; ranking the imported data based on a plurality of ranking factors to determine a relevance of the imported data; automatically generating written content using at least a portion of the imported data based on the determined relevance of the imported data; and automatically customizing the written content based on a file format of the application.
1. A method for generating written content in an application, comprising:
importing data from a plurality of data sources in response to a user query, wherein the plurality of data sources include at least one website determined to be a reliable source of information by a community of users, at least one internal knowledge management system, and at least one external knowledge management system;
ranking the plurality of data sources based on a plurality of ranking factors, wherein the plurality of ranking factors include: total page views for each website, expertise of at least one author of data presented on each website, comments regarding the data presented on each website, crowd-sourced ratings of each website, a number of times the data presented on each website has been shared, and a reputation of an entity associated with the website;
ranking the imported data imported from the plurality of data sources based on the ranking of the plurality of data sources to determine a relevance of the imported data;
displaying, on a user interface, the imported data having a relevance above a user selected scoring threshold;
automatically generating written content using at least a portion of the imported data displayed on the user interface based on the determined relevance of the imported data, wherein a size of the portion of the imported data used to automatically generate the written content decreases as the relevance of the imported data decreases; and
automatically customizing the written content based on a file format of the application.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising inputting user defined metrics via a user interface, wherein the ranking factors include at least one of the user defined metrics.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
setting a scope of the data to be imported via the user interface.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically generating written content is performed by a narrative science engine.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed by a plug-in or macro of the application.
6. A computer system that includes a processing component, for performing a method for generating written content in an application by performing actions including:
importing data from a plurality of data sources in response to a user query, wherein the plurality of data sources includes at least one website determined to be a reliable source of information by a community of users, at least one internal knowledge management system, and at least one external knowledge management system;
ranking the plurality of data sources based on a plurality of ranking factors, wherein the plurality of ranking factors include: total page views for each website, expertise of at least one author of data presented on each website, comments regarding the data presented on each website, crowd-sourced ratings of each website, a number of times the data presented on each website has been shared, and a reputation of an entity associated with the website;
ranking the imported data imported from the plurality of data sources based on the ranking of the plurality of data sources to determine a relevance of the imported data;
displaying, on a user interface, the imported data having a relevance above a user selected scoring threshold;
automatically generating written content using at least a portion of the imported data displayed on the user interface based on the determined relevance of the imported data, wherein a size of the portion of the imported data used to automatically generate the written content decreases as the relevance of the imported data decreases; and
automatically customizing the written content based on a file format of the application.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises inputting user defined metrics via a user interface, wherein the ranking factors include at least one of the user defined metrics.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
setting a scope of the data to be imported via the user interface.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein automatically generating written content is performed by a narrative science engine.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the method is performed by a plug-in or macro of the application.
11. A computer program product comprising program code embodied in at least one computer-readable storage medium, which when executed, enables a computer system to implement a method for generating written content in an application, the method comprising:
importing data from a plurality of data sources in response to a user query, wherein the plurality of data sources include at least one website determined to be a reliable source of information by a community of users, at least one internal knowledge management system, and at least one external knowledge management system;
ranking the plurality of data sources based on a plurality of ranking factors, wherein the plurality of ranking factors include: total page views for each website, expertise of at least one author of data presented on each website, comments regarding the data presented on each website, crowd-sourced ratings of each website, a number of times the data presented on each website has been shared, and a reputation of an entity associated with the website;
ranking the imported data imported from the plurality of data sources based on the ranking of the plurality of data sources to determine a relevance of the imported data;
displaying, on a user interface, the imported data having a relevance above a user selected scoring threshold;
automatically generating written content using at least a portion of the imported data displayed on the user interface based on the determined relevance of the imported data, wherein a size of the portion of the imported data used to automatically generate the written content decreases as the relevance of the imported data decreases; and
automatically customizing the written content based on a file format of the application.
12. The computer program product of claim 11 , further comprising inputting user defined metrics via a user interface, wherein the ranking factors include at least one of the user defined metrics.
13. The computer program product of claim 12 , further comprising:
setting a scope of the data to be imported via the user interface.
14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein automatically generating written content is performed by a narrative science engine.
15. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the method is performed by a plug-in or macro of the application.
