When Machines Become Writers

OJR has an interesting new feature entitled When Machines Become Writers and Editors. It looks into how modern NLP techniques can automatically generate news leads. From the article, I gather that multiple sources are scanned, and the information is re-expressed in a more succinct form combining these sources.
The technical details are sparse, but still its advantages and pitfalls are discussed... Unlike humans, the solution has trouble interpreting the data - presumably due to lack of background knowledge. Uncertainty can also be a problem to express. This on-going work seems like a very demanding application of multiple fields of AI, so it'll be interesting to watch it unfold.
