Customized newsfeed summaries with interactive content suggestions in audio format
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887359B2) outlines a method for generating a customized newsfeed summary for users of an online social network. The method involves receiving audio inputs from users via an assistant xbot, identifying requests for content digests, retrieving content objects from the social network, and generating a newsfeed summary based on the semantical meaning of the content objects. The system also provides interactive content suggestions such as comments, likes, audio clips, images, videos, links, messages, or reviews based on the content objects.
Furthermore, the patent describes the training of models to enhance the content suggestions provided to users. By analyzing prior content objects and responses, the system can generate clusters of related content and prioritize content suggestions based on semantical embeddings. Additionally, the method includes features like user profile modification, privacy settings for content accessibility, and the ability to respond to selected content objects or suggestions. The patent also covers the implementation of the method through computer-readable storage media and a system comprising processors and memory to execute the instructions for generating customized newsfeed summaries and interactive content suggestions for users of online social networks via an assistant xbot.
