Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing internet content, such as related news articles. One method includes an operation for defining a plurality of candidates based on a seed. For each candidate, scores are calculated for relevance, novelty, connection clarity, and transition smoothness. The score for connection clarity is based on a relevance score of the intersection between the words in the seed and the words in each of the candidates. Further, the score for transition smoothness measures the interest in reading each candidate when transitioning from the seed to the candidate. For each candidate, a relatedness score is calculated based on the calculated scores for relevance, novelty, connection clarity, and transition smoothness. In addition, at least one of the candidates is selected based on their relatedness scores for presentation to the user.
