  • Classifier for classifying digital items
    Patent number: 9361377
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and processes for classifying a digital item are described. In some examples, a first classifier determines whether a digital item, such as an electronic book (eBook), includes content of a first category that is acceptable for publication by a publisher. A second classifier determines whether the digital item includes content of a second category that is acceptable for publication by a publisher. In response to determining that the digital item includes content of the first category or content of the second category, a third classifier may determine whether the digital item includes a phrase that is indicative of content of a third category that is unacceptable for publication.
