  • Patent number: 11640420
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose a method for automatic summarization of content. The method includes accessing a plurality of stories from a plurality of data sources for a predefined time. Each story is associated with a media item. The method includes plotting the plurality of stories over the predefined time for determining one or more peaks and extracting a set of stories from the one or more peaks. The method includes detecting one or more themes from the set of stories using LDA algorithm. Each theme is associated with a group of stories. The method further includes determining at least one subset of stories for each theme from the group of stories representing the set of stories in the one or more peaks using RBM algorithm. The method includes generating a summarized content for each user based on an associated user profile and the at least one subset of stories.

  • Publication number: 20230090601
    Abstract: A system and method for determining polarization in a plurality of documents, which may be grouped in a variety of ways, for example according to publication source. The polarization may be determined according to an analysis of the document itself and/or of the publication source of the document. Optionally, topic modeling is performed on one or more documents from one or more sources as part of the above analysis. One or more topic models may then be applied for tagging one or more such documents.

  • Publication number: 20220360604
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting interactive network of automated accounts, the interactive network of automated accounts comprising a plurality of automated accounts posting to a social media channel, the system comprising: an ingestion engine operated by a computational device for connecting to the social media channel and receiving a plurality of social media postings from a plurality of posting entities; a bot model operated by a computational device for determining whether at least one posting entity is a suspected bot; and a computer network for communication between said computational devices.
