CATEGORY-BASED CONTENT RECOMMENDATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method in a content recommendation system, the method comprising:
- processing a corpus of content items to determine, for each of the content items, multiple corresponding entities referenced by the content item, each of the determined entities being electronically represented by the content recommendation system;
determining, for each of at least some of the content items, at least one corresponding category that is part of a taxonomy stored by the content recommendation system and that is associated with one of the multiple corresponding entities referenced by the content item; and
storing, for each of the content items, the determined multiple corresponding entities and the determined at least one corresponding category.

Abstract
Techniques for category-based content recommendation are described. Some embodiments provide a content recommendation system (“CRS”) configured to recommend content items (e.g., Web pages, images, videos) that are related to specified categories. In one embodiment, the CRS processes content items to determine entities referenced by the content items, and to determine categories related to the referenced entities. The determined entities and/or categories may be part of a taxonomy that is stored by the CRS. Then, in response to a received request that indicates a category, the CRS determines and provides indications of one or more content items that each have a corresponding category that matches the indicated category. In some embodiments, at least some of these techniques are employed to implement a category-based news service.
