    摘要: A digital magazine server generates a digital magazine for user based on a received request for the digital magazine identifying one or more topics. The digital magazine server applies one or more machined trained models to obtained content items to select content items for the topic. A hierarchy of the topics included in the received request may be determined by the digital magazine server and used by the trained models to select content items. When generating the digital magazine, the digital magazine server also includes one or more editorial content items that are manually selected. The digital magazine serer may reposition one or more content items selected by the trained models to include an editorial content items.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for determining, for comments associated with a content item, response likelihood scores indicating likelihood of a user responding to the comments, and presenting the comments to the user according to the determined response likelihood scores. A response likelihood score of the user responding to a comment is determined according to an emotion score associated with the comment and a user propensity of the user responding to comments with similar emotion scores for a topic of the content item. The comments associated with the content item are ranked based on the response likelihood scores associated with the comments. An arrangement of the comments can be determined based on the rankings of the comments, and the comments can be presented to the user according to the determined arrangement.

    摘要: A digital magazine server user may identify a content item presented by the digital magazine server to save or present to other digital magazine server users by interacting with a client device presenting the content item. For example, providing a gesture to the client device identifies a content item for presentation to other digital magazine server users. The gesture may begin by the user interacting with a portion of a display device that displays a portion of the content item and continue as the user interacts with the display device along a path from the portion to an additional portion. When the gesture is completed, the user may be presented with options to present the content item to additional digital magazine server users, or the content item may be presented to other digital magazine server users.

    摘要: A digital magazine server logs user interactions with content provided by the server, including the topic of the content and time of the interaction by the user. For each user of the server, the server segments the time interval (e.g., a day) of the user's interactions with content into time periods, e.g., fixed time periods or automatically determined time periods, and ranks topics of interest for each time period. The server also obtains a list of topics that each user interacted with each day. The digital magazine server uses a time segmentation module based on content interaction data and associated timing information from the users of the server. Upon receiving a request for content from a user, the digital magazine server ranks the content for display to the user based on the match between the content and the ranked topics for the user during the current time associated with the request.

    摘要: An application associated with a digital magazine server receives actions from a user of the digital magazine server with content provided by the application. Additionally, the application obtains rules including suggested actions for the user to perform that are associated with actions previously performed by the user. As the user interacts with the application, the application captures information describing actions performed by the user and compares the actions performed by the user to the rules. If the application identifies a rule including information describing actions previously performed by the user that match captured actions, the application presents information identifying the suggested action in the identified rule to the user.

    摘要: An online content system, such as a digital magazine, includes an image scaling engine for increasing the resolution of images. The image scaling engine comprises a convolutional neural network. An input image is preprocessed for use as inputs to a convolutional neural network (CNN). The preprocessed input image pixel values are used as inputs to the CNN. The CNN comprises convolutional layers and dense layers for determining image features and increasing image resolution. The CNN is trained using backpropagation to adjust model weights and biases. Each convolutional layer of a CNN detects features in an image by comparing image subregions to a set of known kernels and determining similarities between subregions and kernels using a convolution operation. The dense layers of the CNN have full connections to all of the outputs of a previous layer to determine the specific target output result such as output image pixel values.

    摘要: A digital magazine server creates a section of a digital magazine including content items based on a page template describing the relative positioning and sizing of content items. A page template may include display regions specifying the size of content items as a percentage of a display area. Additionally, a display region in a page template may specify use of a sub-template for presenting content items. The sub-template includes display regions specifying the relative positioning of content items presented in the display region specifying use of the sub-template. To generate the section of the digital magazine, various page templates are scored and a page template is selected based on the scoring. One or more diversity policies may be enforced when selecting the page template to improve user interaction with the digital magazine.

    摘要: A digital magazine server generates pages presenting content items to a user in slots of a page template describing a relative positioning of content regions presenting content items. A page template may include a limited number of slots that limits the number of content regions presented to a user. If a number of content items selected for presentation to the user exceeds the limited number of slots in a page template, a plurality of content items are selected and used to generate a combined content item. The combined content item identifies each of the selected plurality of content items and allows a user to view information from various content items used to generate the combined content item.
