CONNECTING PEOPLE BASED ON CONTENT AND RELATIONAL DISTANCE

摘要

Technologies for establishing connections between or among people based at least in part on semantic distance and relational distance include one or more computing devices that analyze content created by computing device users, perform content clustering on the content, determine relational distances between connection candidates, and generate connection recommendations based at least in part on the content clustering and the relational distances.

1. A computing device for generating a connection recommendation, the computing device comprising, for a computing device user in a set of computing device users:
a corpus development module to include user-generated electronic content in a corpus; a lexical space builder module to select, from the corpus, low polysemy lexical items having a low corpus frequency and a low language frequency; a clustering module to perform content clustering on the selected subset and subsets of extracted lexical items of other users in the set of users; and a connection generator module to (i) identify a set of connection candidates comprising one or more of the other users in the set of users based at least in part on the content clustering; (ii) remove, from the identified set of connection candidates, a connection candidate that has a short relational distance to the user; and (iii) present a connection recommendation identifying at least one of the connection candidates remaining in the set of connection candidates after the connection candidate having a short relational distance to the user is removed from the set of connection candidates.
