13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor-implemented method further comprises: determining the interest of the reader by examining an educational background of the reader.
1. A system comprising: a processor and a computer readable memory, wherein the processor retrieves and executes instructions from the computer readable memory to perform a processor-implemented method comprising; receiving a reading speed of a reader, wherein the reader is a human reader, wherein the reading speed is based on a first source; determining a summary length of a summary of a document based on the received reading speed of the reader, wherein the document is a second source that differs from the first source, wherein a first reading speed is faster than a second reading speed, wherein the first reading speed results in a first summary length of the summary and the second reading speed results in a second summary length of the summary, and wherein the first summary length is longer than the second summary length; generating a summary of the document having the determined summary length; identifying an interest of the reader; modifying the summary of the document according to the interest of the reader in order to include, in the summary of the document, content from the document that is of interest to the reader, wherein the reader has multiple interests; weighting each interest from the multiple interests based on a reading history of the reader, wherein each interest is assigned a weight based on a percentage of the reading history of the reader that is devoted to said each interest; generating a weight ratio of interests of the reader from the multiple interests based on the percentage of the reading history of the reader that is devoted to said each interest; generating components of the summary based on the weight ratio of interests of the reader; and modifying the summary of the document to match the weight ratio such that a ratio of lengths of the components of the summary matches the weight ratio of the interests of the reader.
