Abstract
Detecting, for a content item, associated preference events is disclosed. For the content item, a plurality of preference events from a plurality of users is received. The received preference events are accumulated. Associated events are detected. The effect of the events is reduced when assigning a status to the item.
Claims19
A method of identifying a cohort of users attempting to orchestrate preference events for content items, at a preference system for presenting the content items to users, the method comprising:
- receiving from a plurality of users preference events regarding multiple content items;
- and
- for at least one of the plurality of users, operating a processor to:
- identify a set of content items for which the user initiated preference events of a first type;
- for each of the identified content items, identify other users in the plurality of users, if any, that initiated preference events of the first type for the content item;
- and
- if multiple users amounting to at least a first percentage of users in the plurality of users initiated preference events of the first type for a subset of content items amounting to at least a second percentage of the set of content items:
- record the multiple users as a cohort;
- and
- reduce effects of the preference events initiated by the cohort when determining statuses to assign the subset of content items.
A computer program product for identifying, at a preference system, a cohort of users attempting to orchestrate preference events for content items for presenting the content items to users, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising instructions for:
- receiving from a plurality of users preference events regarding multiple content items;
- and
- for at least one of the plurality of users:
- identifying a set of content items for which the user initiated preference events of a first type;
- for each of the identified content items, identifying other users in the plurality of users, if any, that initiated preference events of the first type for the content item;
- and
- if multiple users amounting to at least a first percentage of users in the plurality of users initiated preference events of the first type for a subset of content items amounting to at least a second percentage of the set of content items:
- recording the multiple users as a cohort;
- and
- reducing effects of the preference events initiated by the cohort when determining statuses to assign the subset of content items.
A preference system for identifying a cohort of users attempting to orchestrate preference events for content items, the system including:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive from a plurality of users preference events regarding multiple content items;
- and
- for at least one of the plurality of users:
- identify a set of content items for which the user initiated preference events of a first type;
- for each of the identified content items, identify other users in the plurality of users, if any, that initiated preference events of the first type for the content item;
- and
- if multiple users amounting to at least a first percentage of users in the plurality of users initiated preference events of the first type for a subset of content items amounting to at least a second percentage of the set of content items:
- record the multiple users as a cohort;
- and
- reduce effects of the preference events initiated by the cohort when determining statuses to assign the subset of content items.
