Abstract
Social media has become the most convenient platform for news reading nowadays. In this paper, we introduce an automated digital magazine generating system—EventLens, which provides a platform to help the users get information more effectively through intelligent information selection and integration on social media. In our application, we not only design the functionalities, interface, and overall user experience to satisfy users’ need in terms of information content and reading habits, but also propose the necessary solutions: an automated magazine layout method and a swift image retargeting method to solve the problems in the process of digital magazine auto-generation.
