Just About The Coolest Thing I've Ever Seen In My Entire Freaking Life



Okay, maybe not, because we all know I speak in hyperbole a lot. But check this out:
Given information commonly available online about many games — the box score and the play-by-play — the system automatically generates the text of a story about that game that captures the overall dynamic of the game and highlights the key plays and key players. The story includes an appropriate headline and a photo of the most important player in the game.
Yes, that's right. Input: stats & plays from a baseball game. Output: AP-style story.

So awesome.
