  • Patent number: 12373488
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to recommending content by analyzing the streamed data. A request is received from a user requesting one or more recommendations from a set of items. A first distribution indicative of an interest distribution of the user in a plurality of topics is obtained. For each item, a second distribution indicative of a classification distribution of the item with respect to the plurality of topics is obtained. A score is estimated based on the first distribution and the second distribution, wherein the score indicates likelihood that the user is interested in the item. The scores associated with the set of items are ranked. The one or more recommendations are presented based on the ranked scores.

  • Patent number: 11086866
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to rewriting a query and providing search results. In one example, a plurality of queries is obtained. For each of the plurality of queries, one or more search results are identified. The one or more search results have been obtained in response to the query and have been previously selected by a user submitting the query. A plurality of titles is obtained. Each of the titles corresponds to one of the one or more search results with respect to one of the plurality of queries. A model is generated based on the plurality of queries and the plurality of titles. The model is to be used for rewriting a query.

  • Patent number: 10664764
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system for determining personal attributes based on public interaction data are illustrated. In one embodiment, the system employs a process for predicting personal attributes based on public interaction data by constructing matrices based on user interactions drawn from public posts on a social media website. The process may further learn a compact representation for a plurality of users based on public posts using the matrices, extract the compact representation of one or more users that have been labeled, and apply a classifier to learn about a particular personal attribute. Through this, a prediction of personal attributes of users that have not been labeled may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 10430718
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in social media content generation and delivery and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for automatically method for automatically summarizing social media content using a timeline comprising a set (or chain) of episodes and a summary of each episode. The disclosed systems and methods identify a number of episodes based on analysis of each social media content item of a corpus, identify a number of social content items to summarize each episode, and generate a timeline summarization of the corpus of social media content items.

  • Publication number: 20170213153
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing an unsupervised feature selection algorithm on a processor which directly embeds feature selection into a clustering algorithm using sparse learning are disclosed. The direct embedding of the feature selection, via sparse learning, reduces storage requirement of collected data. In one method, unsupervised feature selection may be accomplished through a removal of redundant, irrelevant, and/or noisy features of incoming high-dimensional data.
