#ExpeditionHacks Hackathon Series: Seattle 2017

Curation for Curators.How can you extract relevant content from a given list of feeds for a variety of personas.

Lots of people curate our news for us (Facebook, CNN, etc) so that we get only the news that we want. What if your job was to curate the top stories to different national security decision-makers that each had their own interests? Due to their incredibly demanding schedules, our nation's leaders receive only a quick briefing with a printed book containing the news and information they need to know. How would you curate a more relevant briefing book for these decision makers?

If you were the curator for these books, how could we use your experiences choosing each day's stories to refine, prioritize, and suggest the most relevant content for future briefing books?

 Example: 

Every morning briefers present the day's top stories to our national security decision makers. Due to time constraints, many leaders receive only a quick briefing with a physical print out containing the news and information they need to know.  Briefers build these books for each customer using a time consuming process.

What if we could learn from the briefers?  How might we use their experience and choices to refine, prioritize, and suggest the most relevant content to help them build their books and enable decision makers?

Challenges:
* We use a private cloud. Your solution can use all the data sources you want, but your technology (compute power, machine learning, etc.) must be able to exist within a private cloud.
* Each briefer has multiple customers and therefore will build multiple books from a variety of feeds.
