Categorizing hash tags
First Claim
1. A method for categorizing not-yet categorized objects from internet content sources, comprising:
- identifying, by a server device that comprises memory, non-transitory storage, and one or more processors, a plurality of categorized objects that are associated with a particular hashtag;
based, at least in part, on how the plurality of categorized objects have been categorized, the server device, generating plurality of hashtag-to-category mappings that map the particular hashtag to a plurality of categories;
wherein each hashtag-to-category mapping of the plurality of hashtag-to-category mappings maps the particular hashtag to a corresponding category of the plurality of categories;
the server device, generating an ordered list of the plurality of hashtag-to-category mappings;
the server device, obtaining a not-yet-categorized object that is associated with the particular hashtag; and
the server device, categorizing the not-yet-categorized object based, at least in part, on the ordered list of the plurality of hashtag-to-category mappings.

Abstract
A content item categorizer system retrieves content items from Internet sources. If a retrieved content item includes sufficient information for traditional categorization methods, then the system assigns one or more categories to the content item using such traditional methods. The system creates a metadata model, based on information about traditionally-categorized content items, that maps at least hashtags from the content items to one or more content categories. When the system retrieves a sparse-info item that does not include sufficient information for traditional categorization, the system applies the metadata model to categorize the content item using at least hashtags in the sparse-info item. The metadata model may also include information indicating mappings between categories and coincidence of hashtags and additional content item attributes. Also, the metadata model may provide information for categorizing sparse-info items based on multiple hashtags in the sparse-info item metadata.
