Generating a form response interface in an online application
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying a content post in an online application interface;
facilitating evaluation of the content post, wherein facilitating evaluation of the content post comprises;
identifying associated comments submitted in response to the content post;
upon determining that a first designated threshold number of the associated comments exist, sending language of the associated comments to a natural language processing application; and
upon determining, via the natural language processing application, that a second designated threshold number of the associated comments exist that include common language elements capable of being expressed via multiple predefined options, marking the content post as form-addressable, wherein common language elements are identified by iteratively comparing language among the associated comments; and
upon determining that the content post is form-addressable based on the evaluation;
generating a form response interface element including multiple alternatives that respectively correspond to multiple user-selectable options for response to the content post, and generating statistics based on each of the multiple alternatives, wherein the statistics include a vote tally indicating a number of votes received for each of the multiple alternatives via the form response interface element from one or more users; and
updating the online application interface to display the form response interface element and the statistics with the content post.

Abstract
An approach is described for generating a form response interface in an online application. An associated method may include identifying a content post in an online application interface and facilitating evaluation of the content post. Upon determining that the content post is form-addressable based on the evaluation, the method may include generating a form response interface element including multiple alternatives and updating the online application interface to display the form response interface element with the content post. In an embodiment, facilitating evaluation according to the method may include parsing language in the content post to determine the presence of a form-addressable interrogatory element. In a further embodiment, facilitating evaluation according to the method may include analyzing comments posted in response to the content post to determine the presence of form-addressable common language elements.
