  • Publication number: 20160357872
    Abstract: An event network system can provide user-friendly grouping of articles, or “events views,” which can comprises multiple automatically obtained digital content items related to a specified event. The event network system can accomplish this by discovering digital content, analyzing it, searching for and retrieving additional related digital content, producing an similarity graph indicating the relatedness of identified digital content, and producing event views for sufficiently related digital content items. The event views can encapsulate, summarize, tag, and link the related digital content items in a manner that allows for easy user consumption. The event network system can also determine events to include in a thread of recommended events, e.g. based on an interest score for a user. A user can also search an event network, which can provide suggested results based on a freshness score.
