Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for displaying a customized news stream. One method includes an operation for identifying dwell times spent by users while accessing a first plurality of items, each item belonging to one media type from a plurality of media types (e.g., news articles, videos, slide shows, etc.). In addition, the method includes operations for determining statistical parameters for each media type based on the identified dwell times, and for detecting a news corpus having a second plurality of items. A priority for each item in the news corpus is determined based on the media type of the item, the corresponding statistical parameters for the media type of the item, and the profile of a user. The news stream is sent to the user for presentation on a display, the news stream being sorted based on the priority of the items in the news corpus.

Abstract: A method is provided for building a user interest profile. According to the method, features of each of a plurality of articles are identified. For a given user, views of one or more of the plurality of articles are logged. For each view, a corresponding dwell time for the view by the given user is measured. A weight is applied to each view based on the corresponding measured dwell time. User interest scores for features of the articles are determined based on the weighted views, and the user interest profile is generated for the given user based on the user interest scores.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to automatically generating and completing a task. In one example, an input related to a person is received. An intent associated with the input is obtained. A task is automatically generated based on the input and the intent. In another example, a task automatically created based on an intent of a person is received. A task action list is obtained from the task. The task action list includes at least one action to be performed. Each of the at least one action is performed in accordance with the intent of the person.

Abstract: Methods, systems and programming for evaluating user satisfaction with respect to a user session are presented. In one example, one or more queries in a use session are received from a user. Information about one or more user activities is obtained. Each user activity is related to manipulation of a content item associated with one of the one or more queries. A score associated with the user session is computed based at least partially on the one or more user activities. User satisfaction with respect to the user session is determined based on the score.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for selecting news articles for presentation to a user. One method includes an operation for measuring dwelltimes for a first set of news items, where the dwelltime for a news item is based on the amount of time that the news item is displayed to a viewer. Further, the method includes an operation for training a classifier of news items based on the measured dwelltimes and based on features associated with the first set of news items. Additionally, the method includes an operation for ranking with the classifier a second set of news items for presentation to the user, the ranking also using the profile of the user for delivery of customized news to the user. The ranked second set of news item is then presented to the user.
