Kiffets

a high-precision content classification engine for news companies to curate Long Tail web content

The Kiffets Social Indexing Engine enables readers to discover and explore related topics and articles, increasing their engagement on publishers' sites. Kiffets combines the perspective of human editors with the scalability of automatic classification.

By combining human knowledge with AI content models, Kiffets organizes content automatically with much more precision than other indexing technologies -- without building a complex ontology or requiring close coordination among curators. The system automatically develops relationships across indexes, creating a rich web of connections accessible through its API for publishers.

Core technology and REST API available for licensing to news companies and publishers as software or as a web service.

Living Laboratory

In the spirit of open innovation, this is one of the places where PARC scientists and engineers share their prototype web-based services, alpha-stage software downloads, proof-of-concept for various competencies, and collaborative development programs. These are available free to the public for trial and feedback; in turn, we hope to draw on the diverse perspectives the online community will share. We do not currently provide access to inactive projects (e.g., Map Viewer) here.
