REINVENT - TOPICS CURATOR This stage uses an attribute evaluator, a search method and a base classifier. A key differentiator of Topics Curator is “Feedback Loop.” Typically in a curation algorithm, a set of documents are categorized and ranked, based on user preference. However, users do not always know what they want, so an algorithm is needed which can learn preferences over time. In Topics Curator, a ranking feature enables users to rate and rank the content, thereby improving the ranking algorithm. As the technologies and application of knowledge improve, curation will surely change the way we get information. In the near future, it may be possible for enterprise knowledge workers to select a preference as complex as “2012 trends in the North American banking industry,” and thanks to advancements in text mining and curation, they will get exactly the information they want.
