Method and system for displaying comments associated with a query

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that when executed by a processor, performs a method of displaying comments associated with a query, the method comprising:

• receiving the query provided by a user;
• retrieving a set of comment clusters from a comment cluster database, wherein each comment cluster of the set of comment clusters, comprises a plurality of comments associated with the query;
• selecting engaging comments from each comment cluster comprised in the set of comment clusters, wherein the engaging comments are identified based on a plurality of attributes;
• aggregating the engaging comments that are obtained from each comment cluster, with each other, to form a list of aggregated comments;
• classifying the engaging comments in the list of aggregated comments as related to one or more independent topics associated with the query, wherein each independent topic in the one or more independent topics is related to a different topic associated with the query;
• identifying a first set of independent comments related to a first distinct topic associated the query and a second set of independent comments related to a second distinct topic associated the query from the list of aggregated comments based on the classification;
• determining a first predefined number of independent comments from the first set of independent comments based on a first relevance of the first distinct topic to the query;
• determining a second predefined number of independent comments from the second set of independent comments based on a second relevance of the second distinct topic to the query;
• and
• displaying the first predefined number of independent comments from the first set of independent comments and the second predefined number of independent comments from the second set of independent comments.

A system for displaying comments associated with a query, the system comprising:

• an electronic device;
• a communication interface in electronic communication with the electronic device;
• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• a processor responsive to the instructions to
• receive the query provided by the user;
• retrieve a set of comment clusters from a comment cluster database, wherein each comment cluster of the set of comment clusters, comprises a plurality of comments associated with the query;
• select engaging comments from each comment cluster comprised in the set of comment clusters, wherein the engaging comments are identified based on a plurality of attributes;
• aggregate the engaging comments that are obtained from each comment cluster, with each other, to form a list of aggregated comments;
• classify the engaging comments in the list of aggregated comments as related to one or more different topics;
• identify a first and second set of independent comments from the aggregated of comments, wherein the first and second sets are selected to include only engaging comments that are each related to different topics associated with the query provided by the user;
• determine a first relevance of the topic for the first set of independent comments to the query and a second relevance of the topic for the second set of independent comments to the query;
• and
• display a first predefined number of engaging comments from the first set of independent comments based on the first relevance and a second predefined number of engaging comments from the second set of independent comments based on the second relevance to the user as a list of independent comments.
