Abstract
A system and method for updating and correcting facts that receives proposed values for facts from users and determines a correctness score which is used to automatically accept or reject the proposed values.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for moderating user-generated content within a web-based application, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a proposed user-generated value associated with a feature for inclusion in an online database of features that are accessed from a web-based application;
- obtaining, by the computing system, metadata associated with a user providing the proposed user-generated value;
- accessing a reliability engine comprising at least one machine-learned model configured to determine a score indicative of a probability that unreliable information has been provided;
- providing, by the computing system, the proposed user-generated value and the metadata associated with the user to the at least one machine-learned model of the reliability engine;
- receiving, by the computing system, as an output of the at least one machine-learned model of the reliability engine, and in response to receipt of the proposed user-generated value and the metadata associated with the user, an unreliability score indicative of a probability that the user having proposed the user-generated value has provided unreliable information;
- and
- determining, by the computing system, to implement an action on the proposed user-generated value based on the unreliability score as compared to one or more thresholds.

A system for moderating user-generated content within a web-based application, comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive a proposed user-generated value from a client device that is adapted to access the web-based application, the proposed user-generated value being associated with a feature for inclusion in an online database of features that are accessed from the web-based application;
- a database containing user metadata that is accessed to determine metadata associated with a user providing the proposed user-generated value;
- and
- a reliability engine comprising at least one machine-learned model configured to determine a score indicative of a probability that unreliable information has been provided;
- wherein the system is configured to provide the proposed user-generated value and the metadata associated with the user to the at least one machine-learned model of the reliability engine, and to receive as an output of the at least one machine-learned model of the reliability engine, and in response to receipt of the proposed user-generated value and the metadata associated with the user, an unreliability score indicative of a probability that the user having proposed the user-generated value has provided unreliable information;
- and
- wherein the system is configured to implement an action on the proposed user-generated value based on the unreliability score as compared to one or more thresholds.
