Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire a topic for which associated content is to be provided. A set of content items that are associated with the topic can be identified. The set of content items can be ranked based, at least in part, on time data associated with the set of content items. A subset of content items can be selected out of the set of content items. In some instances, the subset of content items can be selected to include an amount of highest ranked content items. The subset of content items can be provided in real-time.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- acquiring, by a computing system, a topic for which associated content is to be provided;
- identifying, by the computing system, a set of content items that are associated with the topic;
- ranking, by the computing system, the set of content items based, at least in part, on time data associated with the set of content items;
- selecting, by the computing system, a subset of content items out of the set of content items, the subset of content items being selected to include an amount of highest ranked content items;
- and
- providing, by the computing system, the subset of content items in real-time.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
- acquiring a topic for which associated content is to be provided;
- identifying a set of content items that are associated with the topic;
- ranking the set of content items based, at least in part, on time data associated with the set of content items;
- selecting a subset of content items out of the set of content items, the subset of content items being selected to include an amount of highest ranked content items;
- and
- providing the subset of content items in real-time.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform:
- acquiring a topic for which associated content is to be provided;
- identifying a set of content items that are associated with the topic;
- ranking the set of content items based, at least in part, on time data associated with the set of content items;
- selecting a subset of content items out of the set of content items, the subset of content items being selected to include an amount of highest ranked content items;
- and
- providing the subset of content items in real-time.
