SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING CONTENT

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, by a computing system, a set of content sources that post content items relating to a first topic;

determining, by the computing system, one or more content items that were posted by at least one content source in the set of content sources; and

providing, by the computing system, an interface that references at least one topic channel through which the one or more content items are accessible.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of content sources are selected by one or more curators.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the set of content sources that post content items relating to at least one topic further comprises:

clustering, by the computing system, a plurality of content sources into one or more topic clusters; and

determining, by the computing system, the set of content sources from a topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein a content source that posts a threshold amount of content items having at least one term that corresponds to the first topic is included in a topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein determining the set of content sources from the topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, a subset of content sources from the topic cluster using content sources that were selected from the topic cluster by one or more curators.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more content items are selected by one or more curators.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining one or more content items that were posted by at least one content source in the set of content sources further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, that a quality of a content item satisfies a content quality threshold.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the quality of the content item is based at least in part on one or more of a number of likes received for the content item, a number of times the content item was shared with other users, a number of comments that were posted in response to the content item, a number of users following a content source that posted the content item, a number of users that accessed the content item, an average amount of time spent by users viewing the content item, whether the content item is trending in popularity among users, a video quality of the content item, or a sound quality of the content item.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing the interface that references at least one topic channel through which the one or more content items are accessible further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, that a user accessing the interface is interested in the first topic.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user accessing the interface is interested in the topic further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, that a user account of the user is following a content source that is associated with the first topic.

11 . 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:

determining a set of content sources that post content items relating to a first topic;

determining one or more content items that were posted by at least one content source in the set of content sources; and

providing an interface that references at least one topic channel corresponding to the first topic through which the one or more content items are accessible.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the set of content sources are selected by one or more curators.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein determining the set of content sources that post content items relating to at least one topic further causes the system to perform:

clustering a plurality of content sources into one or more topic clusters; and

determining the set of content sources from a topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein a content source that posts a threshold amount of content items having at least one term that corresponds to the first topic is included in a topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein determining the set of content sources from the topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic further causes the system to perform:

determining a subset of content sources from the topic cluster using content sources that were selected from the topic cluster by one or more curators.

16 . 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 a method comprising:

determining a set of content sources that post content items relating to a first topic;

determining one or more content items that were posted by at least one content source in the set of content sources; and

providing an interface that references at least one topic channel corresponding to the first topic through which the one or more content items are accessible.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the set of content sources are selected by one or more curators.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein determining the set of content sources that post content items relating to at least one topic further causes the computing system to perform:

clustering a plurality of content sources into one or more topic clusters; and

determining the set of content sources from a topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein a content source that posts a threshold amount of content items having at least one term that corresponds to the first topic is included in a topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein determining the set of content sources from the topic cluster that corresponds to the first topic further causes the computing system to perform:

determining a subset of content sources from the topic cluster using content sources that were selected from the topic cluster by one or more curators.
