University researchers at the Jacobs School of Engineering have developed methods for document filtering based on quality, automatically operating to make value judgments for document retrieval. This invention has an application to computer discussion groups, where classification by quality would be too time-consuming if done manually. With this invention, quality ranking may be done automatically, where values and qualities may be assigned, for example, by interest, appropriateness, timeliness, humor, style of language, obscenity, sentiment, or combinations thereof.
