RATING THE RELEVANCE OF NEWS STORIES FOR RECIPIENTS OF A NEWS FEED

摘要

A server may receive a new story. The server may calculate a base score for the new story. The server may identify a set of stories received prior to the new story with which the new story overlaps. For each story in the set of stories, the server may compute a current score that the story in the set of stories would receive if the story in the set of stories were received at the same time as the new story. The server may identify a lower bound story in the set of stories having an original score and having a current score nearest to and lower than the base score for the new story and an upper bound story in the set of stories having an original score and having a current score nearest to and higher than the base score for the new story. The server may assign a score to the new story based on the original score of the lower bound story and the original score of the upper bound story.
