  • Classifying and upgrading a content item to a life event item
    Patent number: 11216892
    Abstract: An online system receives a content item from a user and provides the content item for display to the user's connections. The online system receives interactions performed by the user's connections with the content item. From the content item and the interactions, the online system extracts features to be input into a model. The model is trained to determine whether the content item should be classified as a life event and in which category. Based on output from the model, the online system classifies the content item as a life event in a particular category and provides an option to the user to upgrade the content item into a life event item of the particular category. Upon receiving the user's agreement to upgrade, the online system generates a life event item specific to the particular category and provides the life event item for display to the user's connections.
