Tech Comparison: Was Summly The Best Choice For Yahoo?

No. Next daft question.

Summly had a young kid on board. And that's why it got all the attention.

While we kind of all new that Summly wasn't the tech play, the purchase was for the SRI license, I think we thought the SRI License was more valuable.

I am the CTO at Stremor.

Gadget King did a good side by side. (Glad they did the work I didn't want to wade through the summaries to check them out side by side)

It appears Summly is taking a KeyWord Weighting only approach, and not looking at giving bonsues to sentences that speak to causation.

We have 3.2M nouns, and information about 7.5M words and how they shape the meaning of sentences. I don't think SRI has an equivalent.

This makes all the difference in summarizing an article because you want that Who, What, Where, When, Why and How. But the Who What and Why are usually the most important, and we work hard to get that.
