    <Paragraph position="0"> saesaeeeaeeeeseeeeeeeeeesseeesesesaeaeeoeeeeaeeeeeaeeeee IPP's final representation indicates that it has fulfilled its purpose in readimi the story. It has extracted roughly the same information as a person reading the story quickly. IPP has r~ognised an instance of terrorism oonststln8 of an ambush in whioh an eight year-old girl was wounded. That seems to be about all a person would normally remember from suoha story. eseeeeeeeeeae|eeeeeeesneeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeaeeeeeese \[PHOTO: Terminated Sun 24-jun-79 3:38~\] As it pro~esses a story such as this one, IPF keeps track of how interesting it feels the story is. Novelty and relevance tend to increase interestlngness, while redundancy and irrelevance dec?ease it. For example, in the story shown moore, the faot that the victim of the shooting was an 8 year-old ingresses the interest of the story, and the the incident taMin~ place in Northern Ireland as opposed to a more unusual sate for terrorism decreases the interest. The story's interest Is used to determine how much effort should be expended in tryin~ to fill in more details of t~e story. If the level of lnterestingness decreases fax' enough, the program can stop processing the story, and look for a more interesting one, in the same way a person does when reading through a newspaper.</Paragraph>
