  • Patent number: 10645142
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query from a user for videos; identifying videos matching the query; retrieving, for each identified video, a set of keyframes that are associated with one or more concepts; calculating, for each keyframe of each identified video, a keyframe-score based on a prevalence of the concepts associated with the keyframe, determined with reference to the concepts associated with each other keyframe in the set of retrieved keyframes for the identified video; and sending, to the first user, a search-results interface including search results corresponding to one or more of the identified videos, each search result comprising keyframes for the corresponding identified video having keyframe-scores greater than a threshold keyframe-score.

  • Patent number: 10270882
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a plurality of communications, each communication being associated with a particular content item and including a text of the communication; extracting, for each of the communications, n-grams from the text of the communication; identifying mention-terms from the extracted n-grams, each mention-term being a noun-phrase; calculating a term-score for each mention-term based on a frequency of occurrence of the mention-term in the communications; and generating a mentions-module including mentions, each mention including a mention-term having a term-score greater than a threshold term-score and text from communications comprising the mention-term.

  • Patent number: 10242074
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, a request associated with a particular content item; identifying communications authored by one or more users, each identified communication being associated with the particular content item; generating one or more search-results modules related to the particular content item, each search-results module being of a particular module type, wherein each search-results module includes information from a subset of the identified communications, the information corresponding to the particular module type of the search-results module, and wherein a number of communications in the subset of the identified communications including each search-results module is greater than a module-specific threshold number of communications; and sending, to the client system, a search-results interface comprising one or more of the search-results modules.

  • Patent number: 10216850
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a plurality of communications, each communication being associated with a particular content item and including a text of the communication; calculating, for each of the communications, sentiment-scores corresponding to sentiments, wherein each sentiment-score is based on a degree to which n-grams of the text of the communication match sentiment-words associated with the sentiments; determining, for each of the communications, an overall sentiment for the communication based on the calculated sentiment-scores for the communication; calculating sentiment levels for the particular content item corresponding sentiments, each sentiment level being based on a total number of communications determined to have the overall sentiment of the sentiment level; and generating a sentiments-module including sentiment-representations corresponding to overall sentiments having sentiment levels greater than a threshold sentiment level.

  • Patent number: 10157224
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a plurality of communications, each communication being associated with a particular content item and including a text of the communication; extracting, for each of the communications, quotations from the text of the communication; determining, for each extracted quotation, partitions of the quotation; grouping the extracted quotations into clusters based on a respective degree of similarity among their respective partitions; calculating a cluster-score for each cluster based on a frequency of occurrence of partitions of quotations in the cluster in the communications; and generating a quotations-module comprising representative quotations, each representative quotation being a quotation from a cluster having a cluster-score greater than a threshold cluster-score.
