Determining user content classifications within an online community
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, using at least one computing device, user content associated with a user in an online community;
processing, using the at least one computing device, content-specific signals relating to the received user content and user-specific signals relating to a reputation associated with the user to generate processed signals;
defining, using the at least one computing device, a threshold level of score to classify content into a classification;
calculating, using the at least one computing device, a score for the received user content using the processed signals;
classifying using the at least one computing device, the received user content into the classification based on the score and the defined threshold level of score;
computing, using the at least one computing device, a decision to perform an action on the received user content, based on the classification; and
executing, using the at least one computing device, the decision on the received user content.

Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and methods for classifying user content (e.g., spam) within an online community by determining user specific signals and content specific signals, the systems and methods comprising: a user interface module configured to receive user content from the online community, a social signal processing module configured to determine signals from the user content, a user and content classifying module configured to classify user content and configured to compute a decision on the user content, a user content labeling module configured to label the user content, and an execution module configured to execute the decision.

8. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
-
receive user content associated with a user in an online community; process content-specific signals relating to the received user content and user-specific signals relating to a reputation associated with the user to generate processed signals; define a threshold level of score to classify content into a classification; calculate a score for the received user content using the processed signals; classify the received user content into the classification based on the score and the defined threshold level of score; compute a decision to perform an action on the received user content, based on the classification; and execute the decision on the received user content. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
a processor, and; a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to; receive user content associated with a user within an online community; process content-specific signals relating to the received user content and user-specific signals relating to a reputation associated with the user to generate processed signals; define a threshold level of score to classify the user content into a classification; calculate a score for the received user content using the processed signals; classify the received user content into the classification based on the score and the defined threshold level of score; compute a decision to perform an action on the received user content, based on the classification; and execute the decision on the received user content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
