  • Patent number: 12259921
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a content cluster system that provides a framework for leveraging large language models (LLMs) to tag content items (e.g., interactive multimedia content items, such as gaming content items) with attribute tags and, based on attribute tags for related content items, generating cluster descriptions of a cluster of content items. Features of the content cluster system involve tagging content items, determining multi-dimensional embeddings for the content items, and clustering the content items based on proximity of values contained within the multi-dimensional embeddings. The content cluster system may further utilize the LLM to generate one or more cluster descriptions based on the associated tags to create a more creative and dynamic representation of related groupings of titles (e.g., gaming titles). By utilizing LLMs and machine learning resources, the content cluster system provides a scalable approach to conventional approaches in determining and presenting groupings of titles.
