Method and system for identifying and delivering enriched content

1. A method implemented on at least one machine, each of which has at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for providing content, the method comprising:

receiving a request for content from a user;

obtaining one or more parameters associated with a first platform on which the requested content is to be presented;

obtaining the requested content and a plurality of pieces of additional content based on the requested content or information associated with the user, wherein each piece of the additional content is associated with a first user engagement metric and a content module;

determining a plurality of possible layouts for an enriched content page from a plurality of template layouts based on the one or more parameters associated with the first platform, each of the plurality of template layouts associated with a corresponding type of content page and each of the possible layouts for the enriched content page including one or more slots for presenting content;

generating possible layout-module-content sets of which each being a triplet combination of one of the plurality of possible layouts, the content module, and the requested content;

determining values of a second user engagement metric for the generated possible layout-module-content sets;

selecting a layout-module-content set among the generated possible layout-module-content sets based on the determined values;

assigning the requested content and the one or more pieces of the additional content to the one or more slots of the selected layout-module-content set for the enriched content page based on the second user engagement metric; and

transmitting the enriched content page including the requested content and the one or more pieces of the additional content to the first platform.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters associated with the first platform include at least one of:

information related to a user device on which the requested content is to be presented; and

information related the network through which the requested content is to be transmitted.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more slots is associated with a position and a first dimension.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality pieces of additional content are determined based on relatedness to the information associated with the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality pieces of additional content are determined based on relatedness to a topic of the requested content.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the one or more pieces of the additional content are selected from the plurality pieces of additional content based on the associated content modules.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein each of the content modules is associated with a content type and a second dimension.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more pieces of the additional content is assigned to one of the one or more slots such that a value of the second user engagement metric with respect to the enriched content page is optimized.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first or second user engagement metric includes at least one of:

click-through-rate (CTR);

dwell time; and

advertisement conversion rate.

10. A system having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for providing content, the system comprising:

a request handling unit configured to receive a request for content from a user;

a parameter handing unit configured to obtain one or more parameters associated with a first platform on which the requested content is to be presented;

an enriched content generator configured to obtain the requested content and a plurality of pieces of additional content based on the requested content or information associated with the user, wherein each piece of the additional content is associated with a first user engagement metric and a content module;

a content page generator configured to

determine a plurality of possible layouts of an enriched content page from a plurality of template layouts based on the one or more parameters associated with the first platform, each of the plurality of template layouts associated with a corresponding type of content page and each of the plurality of possible layouts for the enriched content page including one or more slots for presenting content,

generating possible layout-module-content sets of which each being a triplet combination of one of the plurality of possible layouts, the content module, and the requested content,

determining values of a second user engagement metric for the generated possible layout-module-content sets,

selecting a layout-module-content set among the generated possible layout-module-content sets based on the determined values, and

to assign the requested content and the one or more pieces of the additional content to the one or more slots of the selected layout-module-content set for the enriched content page based on the second user engagement metric; and

a transmitting unit configured to transmit the enriched content page including the requested content and the one or more pieces of the additional content to the first platform.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of pieces of additional content are determined based on relatedness to the information associated with the user.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of pieces of additional content are determined based on relatedness to a topic of the requested content.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein

the one or more pieces of the additional content are selected from the plurality of pieces of additional content based on the associated content modules.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein each of the content modules is associated with a content type and a second dimension.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein each of the one or more pieces of the additional content is assigned to one of the one or more slots such that a value of the second user engagement metric with respect to the enriched content page is optimized.

16. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having information recorded thereon for providing content, wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform the following:

receiving a request for content from a user;

obtaining one or more parameters associated with a first platform on which the requested content is to be presented;

obtaining the requested content and a plurality of pieces of additional content based on the requested content or information associated with the user, wherein each piece of the additional content is associated with a first user engagement metric and a content module;

determining a plurality of possible layouts for an enriched content page from a plurality of template layouts based on the one or more parameters associated with the first platform, each of the plurality of template layouts associated with a corresponding type of content page and each of the plurality of possible layouts for the enriched content page including one or more slots for presenting content;

generating possible layout-module-content sets of which each being a triplet combination of one of the plurality of possible layouts, the content module, and the requested content;

determining values of a second user engagement metric for the generated possible layout-module-content sets;

selecting a layout-module-content set among the generated possible layout-module-content sets based on the determined values;

assigning the requested content and the one or more pieces of the additional content to the one or more slots of the selected layout-module-content set for the enriched content page based on the second user engagement metric; and

transmitting the enriched content page including the requested content and the one or more pieces of the additional content to the first platform.

17. The medium of claim 16 , wherein

the one or more pieces of the additional content are selected from the plurality pieces of additional content based on the associated content modules.

18. The medium of claim 17 , wherein each of the content modules is associated with a content type and a second dimension.

19. The medium of claim 16 , wherein each of the one or more pieces of the additional content is assigned to one of the one or more slots such that a value of the second user engagement metric with respect to the enriched content page is optimized.
