Parse `` (RSS) or `` (Atom) fields. Common date formats: - `Mon, 15 Jan 2024 10:23:01 +0000` (RFC 1123) - `2024-01-15T10:23:01Z` (RFC 3339) - `2024-01-15T10:23:01-07:00` ### Step 2 — Deduplicate by URL Remove articles with the same URL (normalized: strip query params and trailing slashes, lowercase). ### Step 3 — Score Each Article Calculate a relevance score using keyword matching in title + description: | Keyword | Score | |---------|-------| | market disruption | 10 | | revolutionary | 9 | | acquisition | 8 | | semiconductor | 8 | | fintech | 7 | | ai, artificial intelligence | 7 | | ipo | 6 | | data breach | 6 | | merger | 6 | | regulation | 5 | | earnings, quarterly results | 5 | | cybersecurity | 5 | | quantum | 5 | | startup | 4 | | funding | 4 | | blockchain | 4 | **Scoring rules:** - Add base score for each keyword found in title OR description - **Double the score** if keyword is in the title (title matches get bonus weight) - Add **+3 recency bonus** for articles published in the last 6 hours - Add **+2 category bonus** for articles from Markets category sources ### Step 4 — Select Top Stories Sort by score descending, then by recency descending. Select the top 25 articles. --- ## Output Format Present as a numbered digest: ``` === Daily Market & Tech Pulse === Date: Monday, 15 Jan 2024 Sources: 12 | Articles scanned: 342 | Top articles: 25 1. [Score:23] NVIDIA Acquires AI Startup for $2.1B in Semiconductor Push TechCrunch | Markets | 10:45 SGT https://techcrunch.com/... Keywords: acquisition, semiconductor, ai 2.

Keywords: ai, funding ... ``` --- ## Keyword Scoring Logic (Detailed) ```python # Pseudocode for scoring one article def score_article(title, description): text = (title + " " + description).lower() title_lower = title.lower() score = 0 matched = [] for keyword, points in keyword_scores.items(): if keyword in text: score += points # base score matched.append(keyword) if keyword in title_lower: score += points # title bonus (doubles the score) # Recency bonus if hours_since_published < 6: score += 3 # Category bonus if source_category == "Markets": score += 2 return score, matched ``` --- ## Interpreting Results **High-score articles (>15):** Multiple high-value keywords or a title match on a major keyword — these are the day's most significant stories. **Medium-score articles (8–14):** Relevant but less impactful. Worth a quick skim. **Low-score articles (<8):** Background noise. Include only if filling out the top 25. **What to highlight in the summary:** - Any acquisition or IPO news (market-moving) - AI/semiconductor developments (sector trends) - Regulatory changes (policy impact) - Data breaches or cybersecurity incidents (risk) - Earnings surprises (market reaction) --- ## References - [TechCrunch RSS](https://techcrunch.com/feed/) - [Hacker News RSS (points>100)](https://hnrss.org/newest?points=100) - [CNBC RSS Feeds](https://www.cnbc.com/rss-feeds/) - [Yahoo Finance RSS](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rssindex)
