Thread summarizer

Just noticed that my racist country thread has got very long. Haven’t the time to read it. How can I best automate it?

I’m guessing this is a question about the operation of the board. Moving to ATMB.

Not sure that you can. Or that you should. Why would you do that?

Why do you even need to ask?

Automate it to do what?

Eightysix posts is very long? Perhaps you shouldn’t pit tomndebb anytime soon; those suckers tend to drag on for ten or fifteen pages!

Is he talking about display modes?

Pay me enough and I will read the thread and summarise it for you :wink:

Will you provide unique voices for every poster? Cuz I need to know who’s speaking and when.

Maybe he’s talking about automated summarization. If so, it’s a technology in its infancy. Current performance is at least as bad as machine translation. I doubt it would do a good job at summarizing a message board thread.

Summarizing a thread might be a little difficult. Let’s start with something simpler. Summarize Proust.

How was that?

An automated SDMB thread summarizer??? :slight_smile: :smiley:
ROFLMFAO !!!

Шhen we ℭonsider the past perƒormance of the s∈rver, do Шe Яeally want to яisk addiῂg m⊚re gl↑tches?

Voice Over: A good attempt there but unfortunately he chose a general appraisal of the work, before getting on to the story. A good try though and very nice posture!

:wink:

Man, this thread is getting awful long.

Allow me to summarize:

Got it?

You call that a summary?

What am I, a grad student? I an’t got time to read that. It’s like fucking Dostoevsky.

Do we LOOK like necrophiliacs?
Don’t answer that.

Cryptoderk’s last thread was about, was about,
Fa la la la, la la la, la la la—

BONG!

Summarise threads? No no no. Dont do that. Just skip to the bottom and post something that makes you look like a complete buffoon. All the cool posters are doing it!
