  • Publication number: 20240045911
    Abstract: In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: receiving, at a processor, an uncrawled URL corresponding to a webpage; applying, by the processor, a webpage classification model to the uncrawled URL to determine a probability for a plurality of webpage classifications; assigning, by the processor, one or more labels to the uncrawled URL corresponding to one or more classifications of the plurality of webpage classifications that meet a threshold; and providing, by the processor, a content item to be displayed on the webpage based on the one or more labels.

  • Publication number: 20230244937
    Abstract: A method is provided, including: storing comments generated in response to a content item served over a network; analyzing the comments to determine features associated with each of the comments; using a scoring model to score each comment based on the comment's corresponding features; receiving a request to serve a subset of the comments; responsive to the request, selecting a ranking of the comments that is one permutation from possible rankings of the comments, wherein selecting the ranking is in accordance with a probability distribution of the possible rankings that is based on the scores of the comments; serving comments identified by the selected ranking over the network to a client device; determining a dwell time on the served comments; applying the dwell time to update the scoring model.

  • Publication number: 20230229862
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for utilizing a comment moderation bot for detecting and normalizing neologisms in social media. One method comprises transmitting, by a neologism normalization system, a comment moderation bot for detecting neologisms on an online platform maintained by one or more publisher systems. The comment moderation bot may aggregate data related to user comments and transmit the aggregated data to the neologism normalization system for further processing. The neologism normalization system implements unsupervised machine learning models for detecting neologisms in the aggregated data through tokenization and filtering; and normalizing the neologisms through similarity analysis and lattice decoding.

  • Patent number: 10810242
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for adaptively generating a summary of web-based content based on an attribute of a mobile communication device having transmitted a request for the web-based content. By adaptively generating the summary based on an attribute of the mobile communication device such as an amount of visual space available or a number of characters permitted in the interface, a display of the web-based content may be controlled on the mobile communication device in a way that was not previously available. This enables control of displaying web-based content that has been adaptively generated to be displayed on limited display screens based on a learned attribute of the mobile communication device requesting the web-based content.
