Automated Briefing Production for Lessons Learned Systems

Contents

Document production is an important function in many organizations. In addition to instruction manuals, courseware, reports, system documentation, etc., briefings are a very common type of document product, often used in slide form as a visual accompaniment to a talk.

We discuss how some of the methodologies used in this system may be leveraged in intelligent lessons learned systems.
