VK has news generated by a neural network. Analyzes millions of posts every second

The developers of the largest Russian social network “VKontakte” announced the launch of the “Actual” feed with the latest news and trends. It is filled with neural network algorithms that analyze millions of publications every second, determine the most discussed and cited topics. All this is automatically grouped and served to users in a convenient form. The company claims that the new feed will allow users to stay up to date with the latest events, and communities to get a new audience. The innovation can already be tested in the updated VK mobile application.

For VKontakte, this is still an experiment, but the social network team intends to develop this direction. Initially, the neural network will analyze the most relevant and notable publications from users and communities, but in the future the number of sources and topics will expand. When forming a feed, algorithms also take into account the interests of each user. It can be reviews of movies, games, or opinions from the world of technology. If the content is inaccurate or dangerous, you can report it and it will be filtered out by spam analysts.
