Abstract

Various embodiments provide for systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that improve media content search functionality and curation of media content. For instance, various embodiments described in this document provide features that can present media content items in the form of dynamic collection of media content items upon a user typing into a search bar. In another instance, various embodiments described herein improve media content search functionality by ranking user facing search features using input signals.

Claims (40)

1 . A method comprising:

providing, by one or more processors, a graphical user interface configured to display a dynamic story, the dynamic story comprising a plurality of media content items, the dynamic story being algorithmically-generated from media content items submitted in real-time;

receiving, by the one or more processors, a selection of the dynamic story for curation via the graphical user interface;

presenting, by the one or more processors and via the graphical user interface, entity information associated with the dynamic story, the graphical user interface being configured to enable a user to modify the entity information of the dynamic story;

storing, by the one or more processors, curated data comprising user-modified entity information for the dynamic story, the curated data comprising a Boolean indicator representing whether the dynamic story contains captions comprises a non-English language;

generating, by the one or more processors, a context card for the dynamic story based on the curated data; and

updating, by the one or more processors, the dynamic story on a social media platform to reflect the curated data and to provide the context card for access by at least one user of the social media platform.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic story is generated based on one or more clusters of media content items that are algorithmically determined based on at least one of geographic location, time of submission, or thematic content of the media content items.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the entity information comprises at least one of a place name, an event name, or an organization name, or an entity associated with the dynamic story.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is configured to allow the user to add or remove media content items from the dynamic story.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises one or more corrections to the entity information, and wherein the one or more corrections are stored with metadata comprising a curator's identifier, a time of curation, or an identifier for the dynamic story.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the context card comprises a description, an image, and a link to additional information related to the dynamic story.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises a rating for the dynamic story, the rating being selected from a set of discrete values indicating a level of either interest or quality of the dynamic story.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is part of a curation tool that comprises a data enrichment system, the data enrichment system being configured to use data from one or more external sources to augment information known about the dynamic story.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the Boolean indicator is a first Boolean indicator, and wherein the curated data comprises a second Boolean indicator representing whether the dynamic story contains media content items from multiple locations or events.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the Boolean indicator is a first Boolean indicator, and wherein the curated data comprises a second Boolean indicator representing whether the dynamic story is offensive.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the Boolean indicator is a first Boolean indicator, and wherein the curated data comprises a second Boolean indicator indicating relevance of sub-stories to the dynamic story.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises one or more emoji characters associated with the dynamic story, the one or more emoji characters being selected by a curator through the graphical user interface to best represent a theme or content of the dynamic story.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises an identifier of a cover media content item of the dynamic story.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises one or more identifiers of content items removed from the dynamic story.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises one or more identifiers of highlight media content items of the dynamic story.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the curated data comprises one or more universal resource locators (URLs) to related news.

17 . A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more machine-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

providing a graphical user interface configured to display a dynamic story, the dynamic story comprising a plurality of media content items, the dynamic story is algorithmically-generated from media content items submitted to in real-time;

receiving a selection of the dynamic story for curation via the graphical user interface;

presenting, via the graphical user interface, entity information associated with the dynamic story, the graphical user interface being configured to enable a user to modify the entity information of the dynamic story;

storing curated data comprising user-modified entity information for the dynamic story, the curated data comprising a Boolean indicator representing whether the dynamic story contains captions comprises a non-English language;

generating a context card for the dynamic story based on the curated data; and

updating the dynamic story on a social media platform to reflect the curated data and to provide the context card for access by at least one user of the social media platform.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the graphical user interface is configured to allow the user to add or remove media content items from the dynamic story.

19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the curated data comprises one or more corrections to the entity information, and wherein the one or more corrections are stored with metadata comprising a curator's identifier, a time of curation, or an identifier for the dynamic story.

20 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

providing a graphical user interface configured to display a dynamic story, the dynamic story comprising a plurality of media content items, the dynamic story is algorithmically-generated from media content items submitted to in real-time;

receiving a selection of the dynamic story for curation via the graphical user interface;

presenting, via the graphical user interface, entity information associated with the dynamic story, the graphical user interface being configured to enable a user to modify the entity information of the dynamic story;

storing curated data comprising user-modified entity information for the dynamic story, the curated data comprising a Boolean indicator representing whether the dynamic story contains captions comprises a non-English language;

generating a context card for the dynamic story based on the curated data; and

updating the dynamic story on a social media platform to reflect the curated data and to provide the context card for access by at least one user of the social media platform.
