  • Patent number: 10394939
    Abstract: A method includes determining whether an electronic source link of a curated item is broken. In response to the electronic source link not being broken, the method includes determining whether linked content at the electronic source link is consistent with a version of a document originally accessed on which the curated item is based (item document). In response to the linked content not being consistent with the item document, the method includes locating an alternative item or an alternative source for an inconsistent source link. In response to the electronic source link being broken, the method includes locating an alternative item or an alternative source for a broken source link. Following an expiration date of the curated item, the method also includes locating updated content that is relevant to the curated item.

  • Publication number: 20170316519
    Abstract: A general type weight and an individual weight are determined for each of multiple social media accounts. The general type weight may be based on a social media account type corresponding to the social media account. The method may include encoding a mutually reinforcing relationship between the social media accounts and contents promoted by each of the social media accounts. The mutually reinforcing relationship may be encoded as a promotional link between the social media accounts and a content item of the contents promoted by each of the social media accounts. The method may include calculating a basic link strength for each promotional link, where the basic link strength is based on the general type weight and the individual weight for each social media account of multiple social media accounts, and calculating a mutually reinforcing ranking of the multiple social media accounts and contents based on the basic link strengths.
