Extracting Content of Characters from Single Text

Reading texts through digital tools, like computer, ipad or kindle, is gradually replacing the traditional reading behaviour. When people read a long text containing many characters such as a novel, they sometimes only want the content on one or several specific characters instead of the full text. This paper proposes a method to extract the content related one or several characters based on associative memory (ECC). The degree of closeness between a paragraph and multiple characters is calculated. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of ECC.
