Computing device and corresponding method for generating data representing text
An example method involves (i) accessing first data representing text; (ii) identifying a term within the represented text; (iii) using the identified term as a basis to select a text-editing rule from among a set of text-editing rules; (iv) generating second data that represents the represented text edited in accordance with the selected text-editing rule; and (v) providing output based on the generated second data.
1. A method comprising:
accessing first data representing text;
identifying a term within the represented text;
using the identified term as a basis to select a text-editing rule from among a set of text-editing rules;
generating second data that represents the represented text edited in accordance with the selected text-editing rule; and
providing output based on the generated second data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text the identified term.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a sentence following the identified term.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a paragraph following the identified term.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a hyperlink following the identified term.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the represented text comprises text of a news article.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing output based on the generated second data comprises providing the generated second data as output.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing output based on the generated second data comprises transmitting to a computing device, output based on the generated second data.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that when executed by a processor cause performance of a set of acts, the set of acts comprising:
accessing first data representing text;
identifying a term within the represented text;
using the identified term as a basis to select a text-editing rule from among a set of text-editing rules;
generating second data that represents the represented text edited in accordance with the selected text-editing rule; and
providing output based on the generated second data.
10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text the identified term.
11. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a sentence following the identified term.
12. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a paragraph following the identified term.
13. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a hyperlink following the identified term.
14. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the represented text comprises text of a news article.
15. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein providing output based on the generated second data comprises providing the generated second data as output.
16. The computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein providing output based on the second data comprises transmitting to a computing device, output based on the generated second data.
17. A computing device comprising:
a communication interface;
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that when executed by the processor cause the computing device to perform a set of acts, the set of acts comprising:
accessing first data representing text;
identifying a term within the represented text;
using the identified term as a basis to select a text-editing rule from among a set of text-editing rules;
generating second data that represents the represented text edited in accordance with the selected text-editing rule; and
providing, via the communication interface, output based on the generated second data.
18. The computing device of claim 17 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text the identified term.
19. The computing device of claim 17 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a sentence following the identified term.
20. The computing device of claim 17 , wherein the selected text-editing rule comprises a rule of editing specified text by at least removing from the specified text a paragraph following the identified term.
