  • Patent number: 12169526
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to extracting key concepts from digital content items and determining associations between the key concepts and candidate terms for use in generating and presenting a correlation graph object based on the determined associations. For example, systems described herein involve determining frequency of co-occurrence between various key concepts and applying a classification model (e.g., a zero-shot classification model) to the key concepts and candidate terms to determine associations between the key concepts and candidate terms for a given domain of interest. The systems further involve generating a graph object and processing graph queries in a way that enables fast and efficient presentation of slices of the graph object that provide a visual depiction of key concepts and edges representing associations between pairs of the key concepts.

  • Publication number: 20240176798
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to selectively analyzing digital content items from a social networking system to generate a searchable graph object that facilitates visualization of correlations between entities of interest (e.g., brands, products, services, companies), concepts (e.g., domain-specific and/or general terms), hashtags, and other output classes. For example, systems described herein involve collecting images and/or videos that are publicly available via a social networking platform and evaluating content and metadata thereof to identify entities of interest therein and predict various concepts therein to generate a graph object that provides a searchable matrix. The systems herein provide a mechanism for processing a graph query that presents a relational graph showing correlations between the query and the various output classes.

  • Publication number: 20230214679
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to extracting entities from a collection of digital content items based on text from within the digital content items. For example, the present disclosure describes a customizable entity extraction system that utilizes a number of models to extract entities, rank entities, and classify certain entities using a combination of rule-based and machine learning approaches. In one or more embodiments, a customizable entity extraction system applies a set of rules to unstructured text of a collection of digital content items to extract and classify a set of entities in connection with a specific domain of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230088925
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving an image that includes a type of object, segmenting the object into multiple segments via a trained segmentation machine learning model, and inputting the segments into multiple different attribute extraction models to extract different types of attributes from each of the multiple segments.
