An architecture of personalized sports digest system with scenario templates

In this article, we propose a personalized sports digest composition system with scenario templates and show its architecture. While conventional methods only select and show important events in a simple series, our system is capable to add a direction to them with considering a story of a whole game. We apply our prototype system to the summer Japan championship tournament of high school baseball. We provided the personalized digest service of the summer championship tournament of high school baseball in 2000 to the limited audience of the Internet and received the positive feedbacks of our system from about 100 users.
