Market Assessment for Web text summarizer software

滑铁卢大学的研究人员开发了一种新颖的文本摘要工具，可以从自然文本中提取最重要的概念，并可以区分不重要的术语和包含代表文本含义的概念的术语，从而为被分析的文本提供类似人文主义的理解。该技术可以应用于各种各样的应用程序，并且可以使许多市场受益，例如移动市场中的有限示例，其中给定搜索结果的文本摘要适合用于小型手持屏幕，或者该技术可以用作内容分类和文本摘要工具，以便集成到现有的客户关系管理（CRM）应用程序中。该项目涉及对这种新颖的文本摘要技术的商业机会进行独立的第三方市场评估，以协助规划后续的商业化工作。

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a novel Text Summarization tool that extracts the most important concepts from natural text and can discriminate between non-important terms and terms which hold the concepts that represent the meaning of the text thereby providing an element of humanistic-like understanding of the text being analysed. The technology could be applied to a variety of applications and could benefit a number of markets such as by limited examples in the mobile market, where text summarization for a given search result is desirable for use in small handheld screens, or the technology could be used as content classification and text summarization tool for integration in existing customer relationship management (CRM) applications. This project involves undertaking an independent third party market assessment of the commercial opportunity for this novel Text Summarization technology in order to assist planning for follow-on commercialization efforts.
