  • Patent number: 11861507
    Abstract: A computer-implemented content suggestion engine provides content suggestions to a requesting user based on information about content items that other users may have independently categorized or organized into folders within a content repository. Embodiments of the method comprise a content repository having a plurality of content items, where each content item is associated with one or more user-created folders. Embodiments further comprise receiving, via a network, a suggestion request for suggested content, where the suggestion request identifies a first content item for which suggestions are sought. Other content items in the content repository are then identified as potential suggestions based on the application of a formal relationship between the first content item and the potential suggested content items. One or more of the potential suggested content items may then be provided in response to the suggestion request via the network.

  • Publication number: 20210397670
    Abstract: A computer-implemented suggestion engine suggests documents to a requesting user based on keywords in the documents and document metadata. The keywords may also be presented to the user, with each keyword associated with a visual indicator indicating the importance of the keyword relative to the other keywords. The user can manipulate the visual indicator for a keyword to adjust the relative importance of the keyword and the system will accordingly revise the documents suggested to the user.

  • Publication number: 20210109984
    Abstract: A computer-implemented suggestion engine suggests documents to a requesting user based on significant words in the documents and document metadata. Embodiments determine dictionaries for each document in a content repository as well as one or more documents comprising a basis data set. Embodiments then query the content repository with significant n-grams from the basis data set's dictionary. Embodiments return one or more documents with matching n-grams as a result set, and then filter the result set before providing one or more documents from the result set to the user. Embodiments can also suggest documents based on inferred document metadata. For example, embodiments can infer geographic location information about a document based on metadata associated with the document's neighbors (e.g., other documents saved in the same user folder). Embodiments can use the inferred information to suggest geographically relevant documents to the user.
