In one example, a content catalog system may process a bulk set of errors to prioritize those errors that may benefit from manual review by a human error administrator. A catalog quality management sub-system of the content catalog system may receive an error output describing a catalog error for a product aspect of a product in a content catalog from an error detection module. The catalog quality management sub-system may categorize the catalog error by a degree of human interaction with an error fix determined from an error metric in the error output. The catalog quality management sub-system may apply an error fix to the catalog error based on the degree of human interaction.

Aspects of an abuse detection system for a web service include an abuse detection engine executing on a server. The abuse detection engine includes a pre-processing module for aggregating a data set for processing and analysis; a suspiciousness test module for identifying suspicious content owners and suspicious users; a graphing module for finding connections between suspicious content owners and suspicious users; an analysis module for determining which groups are constituted of fraudulent or abusive accounts; and a notification generation and output module for generating a list of abusive entities and a notification for output to at least one of: the abusive entity, a digital content distribution company associated with the abusive entity, and a legal department or other entity for further investigation or action. Additionally, royalties for content consumptions associated with abusive accounts may be held. Aspects of an abusive traffic detection method enable multi-account and multi-content owner fraud detection.
