  • Prioritizing topics of interest determined from product evaluations
    Patent number: 10147122
    Abstract: A measurement of an effect of a topic on an aggregate of numerical information related to a set of evaluations of a specific product can be produced. A subset of the set of the evaluations can be determined. The subset can be defined by inclusion of textual information about the topic. The specific product can be a good, a service, an application, the like, or any combination thereof. An aggregate of the numerical information related to the subset can be determined. Based on the aggregate of the numerical information related to the subset, the measurement of the effect of the topic on the aggregate of the numerical information related to the set can be calculated. The measurement can be included in a file to be transmitted to a computer system to be used to control operations performed by the computer system to produce a modification to the specific product.
