Abstract

A social networking system receives messages from users that include links to webpages that designate keywords of the webpage. The social networking system identifies webpages linked by users to generate computer models that predict whether a webpage or message should be associated with particular keywords. The social networking system generates computer models that are trained on example webpages and related keywords linked by users in messages. Prior to generating computer models, the social networking system applies one or more filters to exclude webpages and keywords from consideration. The filters may exclude webpages that have low-reliability, are associated with an excessive number of keywords, or keywords that appear on an insufficient number of domains. After training the computer models, messages composed by users may be analyzed and a keyword predicted for the message, which may be suggested to the user to categorize the message.
