  • Publication number: 20240303288
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for determining the similarities of post content for mapping into a hyperspace. In an exemplary method, the disclosure comprises receiving a query at the processor. The method includes determining post data associated with the query. The post data comprises a plurality of posts provided to a social media platform by various users of the platform. The method includes determining, by the processor, a relationship between at least two posts of the plurality of posts. The method includes training, by the processor, a machine language model. The machine language model is based on the query and the relationship between the at least two posts. The method also generates a hyperspace based on the relationship between the at least two posts and the query.

  • Patent number: 11741112
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved categorization of queries are disclosed. In one aspect, a search query is received and determined to match a pattern having an uncategorized variable placeholder portion. In response to determining the search query matches the pattern, the pattern is used to identify a first portion of the search query based on the first portion of the search query corresponding to the uncategorized variable placeholder portion of the pattern. The search query is categorized by assigning, to the search query, a category associated with the first portion of the search query. Search results are generated for the search query using the category associated with the first portion of the search query.

  • Patent number: 11580115
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved categorization of queries are disclosed. In one aspect, first queries having query results limited to a particular category are identified. Second queries including a first query are also identified. For identified second queries, a pattern is generated based on the second query and the included first query, and a rank of the first query's particular category in results for the second query and a percentage of the second query's results having a category equivalent to the included first query's particular category are determined. The ranks and percentages are aggregated for matching patterns, and second patterns with aggregated ranks and percentages meeting a criterion are determined. Results for a third query are limited to a category equivalent to a particular category for a first query included in the third query, and then transmitted over a computer network to a client device.
