ABSTRACT:
A method and system for automatically adding graphics to a document to illustrate concepts referred to therein is provided. The method and system selects an instance of graphics illustrating concepts expressed by an input word in the document from among instances of graphics, at least a portion of which have associated with them one or more words characterizing their subject. The method and system further utilizes a list of words, each representing a concept. The method and system first determines whether the input word is among the list of words that each represent a concept. If the input word is among the list of words that each represent a concept, the method and system identifies an instance of graphics having associated with it the input word. The method and system then selects the identified instance of graphics.
