Original Abstract Submitted
Described herein are techniques for using supervised machine learning to determine whether a content posting posted to a feed of an online service, has been posted with the intent that the content posting is a poll or survey. Upon making a determination that a content posting is or includes a poll, the content posting is further analyzed to identify within the content posting a question and/or answers to the question. The identified question and answers are then used to populate data fields associated with a formal or structured poll, and the end-user who posted the content posting is provided an option to convert the poll from a first content posting format to a second content posting format that is specifically for a formal or structured poll.
