  • Patent number: 10972563
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying and delivering notifications of user-generated content to network-limited users are provided. In one technique, for each selected target entity that has a limited network, one or more topics associated with the target entity are identified and the target entity is assigned to one or more entity-topic buckets for the identified topics. For each selected content item, one or more topics associated with the content item are identified and the content item is assigned to one or more content-topic buckets for the identified topics. The entity-topic buckets are matched to the content-topic buckets, resulting in assigning, for each selected target entity, zero or more content items to that target entity. For each target entity that is assigned one or more content items based on the matching, a notification is generated and transmitted over a computer network to a computing device of the target entity.
