  • Publication number: 20250258878
    Abstract: Techniques for creating an interest graph include obtaining content items from multiple content sources and applying tailored (e.g., source-specific) preprocessing to the content items based on their respective content source. Text is extracted and salient keywords and key phrases are identified using unsupervised machine learning models. The keywords and key phrases become nodes in an interest graph, each node comprising an embedding of a keyword or key phrase in a common embedding space, with edges representing semantic similarity based on embeddings or co-engagement patterns. The graph provides an expansive, granular, and dynamic taxonomy easily adaptable to emerging interests. The interest graph overcomes limitations of conventional taxonomies that lack depth, fail to capture niche interests, and cannot adapt to reflect evolving user preferences. The described techniques construct a rich interest graph from diverse content for improved content understanding.

  • Publication number: 20250259463
    Abstract: Techniques for automated tagging of visual content are described. A pairwise model is used to encode images and videos with a vision encoder, and encode keywords and phrases from an interest graph with a text encoder. Similarity layers compare these cross-modality embeddings by calculating distance in a shared embedding space. Scores indicate the association between visual features and text. A pairwise loss function brings together matched pairs while separating non-matches during training. Scores exceeding a threshold tag content with relevant keywords and phrases. The pairwise architecture relates images and text despite limited associated text. It leverages vision-to-text understanding for accurate tagging without per-class labels. Contrastive similarity techniques associate visual patterns with textual concepts. Automated tagging organizes user-generated content by topics using this scalable cross-modality approach.
