  • Topic profile query creation
    Patent number: 10726063
    Abstract: A topic profile may be generated based on several words/phrases.

The user interface may display one or more representative social media content items and/or a word cloud of words/phrases related to the query. A user may select one or more words/phrases in the word cloud and/or one or more social media content items to be included in and/or excluded from the topic profile.
