Abstract
A method for creating an ordered reading list for a set of documents includes identifying the topics among documents in a document set; clustering the document set into groups by topic; calculating a probability that a particular topic describes a given document in a cluster based upon the occurrence of the keywords in the document; determining relevant documents in a cluster based on a probability distribution; determining relevant information in a document by repeating a similar operation on the document paragraphs; generating an ordered reading list for the related documents of the cluster based on the relevance; and associating a visual que with non-redundant information in each document to indicate which paragraphs contain the relevant information.
