WEB CONTENT RELIABILITY CLASSIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18218462 titled 'WEB CONTENT RELIABILITY CLASSIFICATION

Simplified Explanation

- The technology described in this patent application assigns a reliability score to web content. - The reliability score can be either high or low, representing conformance to high or low reliability sites. - The high reliability score is generated by identifying high reliability online content within a compressed web graph. - The high reliability score is used to score online content that is linked to high reliability sites. - The more links that originate from high reliability sources, the higher the reliability score for the linked content. - The low reliability score is generated by using outgoing links to low reliability sites instead of incoming links from high reliability sites.


Original Abstract Submitted

Technology described herein assigns a reliability score to web content, such as a web site or portion of a website. In one aspect, an output of the technology is a high reliability score and a low reliability score for a web content. The high reliability score represents conformance to high reliability sites, while the low reliability score represents conformance to low reliability sites. The high reliability score may be generated by first identifying high reliability online content within a compressed web graph. In a first iteration, the high reliability score of the seeds is used to score online content that is linked to the seed sites. At a high level, the more links that originate from high reliability sources, the higher the reliability score for the linked content. The low reliability score is similar, but uses outgoing links to low reliability sites instead of incoming links from high reliability sites.
