Title: Intelligent filter
Inventor: PING ZOU
IPC: G06F16/9535
Filed: 2022-05-02
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of identifying content wherein semantic context vectors are received which relate to published content. An intelligent filter is applied to the vectors to determine an output value indicative of the likelihood that the content matches one or more predefined filters. The output is compared to a predetermined threshold and a notification is transmitted to a user device if the output exceeds the threshold which identifies the content for which the output value exceeds the predetermined threshold. One or more input descriptors may be received which identifies the published content and content extraction may be performed on the published content to determine the semantic context vectors. Content identification may be performed on one or more sources to identify the input descriptors by miner processes. The input descriptors may be URLs. Predefined filter parameters may be received from a user device. The first predetermined threshold may be based on a maximised area under curve. The content extraction may be based on a natural language processing model, such as bidirectional encoder representations from transformers. The content extraction may be based on an ensembled model which may comprise a first text classification model and a second industry classification model.
