Abstract

The system generates a recommendation of content for use in collaboration, allowing relevant content to be used as base content. The system identifies a content item, and retrieves reviews for the content item from one or more sources or forums. The system filters the reviews to generate a reduced set of reviews based on text of the respective reviews, profile information associated with the reviews, and reference information. A recommendation metric is determined for the content item based on the reduced set of reviews and based on the one or more recommendation criteria. The recommendation criteria specify which aspects of the content impact recommendation, and how those aspects impact recommendation. The recommendation metric indicates whether the content item is recommended as base content, to be used for generating collaborative content. The system generates a recommendation indicator indicative of the recommendation metric, and outputs the indicator for display, storage, or both.

Claims (42)

1. A method for generating a recommendation of content for use as a base content in a collaboration, the method comprising:

identifying a first content item;

retrieving, using control circuitry, a plurality of reviews of the first content item from one or more databases, wherein each review of the plurality of reviews is a text review, and wherein metadata associated with the plurality of reviews comprises profile information associated with each review of the plurality of reviews;

identifying one or more recommendation criteria;

filtering, using the control circuitry, the plurality of reviews of the first content item to generate a set of reviews, the plurality of reviews is filtered based on:

1) the text of each review of the plurality of reviews,

2) the profile information associated with each review of the plurality of reviews, and

3) review reference information;

determining, using the control circuitry, a recommendation metric for the first content item based on the set of reviews and based on the one or more recommendation criteria, wherein the recommendation metric is indicative of whether the first content item is suitable for being designated as base content for generating collaborative content; and

generating for output, using the control circuitry, a recommendation indicator indicative of the recommendation metric.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering the plurality of reviews to generate the set of reviews comprises:

comparing text of the plurality of reviews to one or more predetermined keywords to generate matches; and

identifying the set of reviews based on the matches.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein filtering the plurality of reviews of the first content item to generate the set of reviews comprises:

identifying one or more metadata tags associated with each the plurality of reviews; and

comparing the one or more metadata tags to the review reference information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the recommendation metric for the first content item comprises identifying rating information of the set of reviews, wherein the rating information is indicative of users' responses to the first content item.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the recommendation metric for the first content item comprises identifying a number of reviews of the set of reviews that correspond to a first recommendation criterion.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the recommendation metric for the first content item comprises identifying a number of interactions with each review of the set of reviews by one or more entities.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the recommendation metric for the first content item comprises determining a plurality of recommendation metrics, wherein the plurality of recommendation metrics comprise the recommendation metric, and wherein each recommendation metric of the plurality of recommendation metrics is associated with a respective recommendation criterion.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating for output the recommendation indicator comprises generating for display on a display device the recommendation indicator.

9. A system for generating a recommendation of content for use as a base content in a collaboration, the system comprising control circuitry configured to:

identify a first content item;

retrieve a plurality of reviews of the first content item from one or more databases, wherein each review of the plurality of reviews is a text review, and wherein metadata associated with the plurality of reviews comprises profile information associated with each review of the plurality of reviews;

identify one or more recommendation criteria;

filter the plurality of reviews of the first content item to generate a set of reviews, the plurality of reviews is filtered based on:

1) the text of each review of the plurality of reviews,

2) the profile information associated with each review of the plurality of reviews, and

3) review reference information;

determine a recommendation metric for the first content item based on the set of reviews and based on the one or more recommendation criteria, wherein the recommendation metric is indicative of whether the first content item is suitable for being designated as base content for generating collaborative content; and

generate a recommendation indicator indicative of the recommendation metric.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to filter the plurality of reviews to generate the set of reviews by:

comparing text of the plurality of reviews to one or more predetermined keywords to generate matches; and

identifying the set of reviews based on the matches.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to filter the plurality of reviews of the first content item to generate the set of reviews by:

identifying one or more metadata tags associated with each the plurality of reviews; and

comparing the one or more metadata tags to the reference tags.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine the recommendation metric for the first content item by identifying rating information of the set of reviews, wherein the rating information is indicative of users' responses to the first content item.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine the recommendation metric for the first content item by identifying a number of reviews of the set of reviews that correspond to a first recommendation criterion.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine the recommendation metric for the first content item by identifying a number of interactions with each review of the set of reviews by one or more entities.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine the recommendation metric for the first content item by determining a plurality of recommendation metrics, wherein the plurality of recommendation metrics comprise the recommendation metric, and wherein each recommendation metric of the plurality of recommendation metrics is associated with a respective recommendation criterion.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for output the recommendation indicator by generating for display on a display device the recommendation indicator.
