  • Patent number: 11361010
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a set of tips for an entity are provided. For example, users may create user generated content describing an entity, such as a user review for a consumer good, a location, an event, etc. Because a user may be unable to read and digest all of the user reviews for the entity, the user may merely read a few user reviews, and thus miss out on useful information. Accordingly, tip templates, indicative of how tips are linguistically/grammatically constructed, are applied to the user reviews to automatically extract a set of tips for the entity (e.g., “make sure to bring a rain jacket”). The set of tips may be filtered to remove undesirable tips, ranked based upon usefulness, and/or diversified to remove redundant tips. In this way, a set of useful tips may be provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20200065864
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to a method and system for selecting content. Upon receiving a request with an indication of a first piece of content for selecting one or more pieces of second content to be presented together with the first piece of content, a plurality of pieces of candidate second content are identified. At least one sentiment feature associated with the first piece of content is determined and the one or more pieces of second content are selected from the plurality of pieces of candidate second content based on the at least one sentiment feature of the first piece of content so that the one or more pieces of second content are emotionally compatible with the first piece of content. The one or more pieces of second content are sent in response to the request.
