Filter by Content Type

UpContent uses proprietary machine learning software we've called ArtClass (short for Article Classifier) to determine if content is a blog piece or news article. You can filter the articles using this classification by clicking on "News" or "Blogs".

Note: ArtClass isn't perfect and is still learning. If you see a suggestion that you think is classified wrongly, you can fix it by selecting a new classification for us and others.

Filter by Date

The default time parameter for the suggestions in any topic is 30 days.

If you'd like to see more recent content, or content from a wider range, you can do so by selecting from one of our pre-set options or by entering your own date range up to one year.

Filter by Source

UpContent now allows you to filter your results by the source from which the content came from. You can either eliminate a source from your results, or view content solely from that source.

To hide suggestions from a particular source, simply "uncheck" the source name from the list on the sidebar.

The "Show" Filter

There are numerous options under this filter:

Favorites Only
- Show only the articles you have favorited (or as we commonly refer to it as "starring" an article)!
Exclude Paywall Content
- This will exclude content from publishers that are locked behind a paywall.
Has Image
- Exclude articles that do not have an image associated with it
  - Only include articles where the publisher has provided an associated image. The ability to display on various platforms will vary depending on image type and publisher restrictions.
Exclude Thin Content
- This will allow you to exclude articles that are "thin" (or less than a preset character limit)

Topics

Filter by Sorting Options in Topics

There are 4 different sorting options: Relevance, Recency, Shareability, and Influence.

You can filter between these by selecting them from the sidebar or at the top of your article cards list drop down menu.

Relevance: Displays results in order of most applicable, based on the topic criteria.

Recency: Sorts results by most recently published, in descending order.

Shareability: Displays content in order of how likely your audience is to engage with the article. This is based on the article's use of power words and phrases within its title and body. See more on this below.

Influence: Displays content in order of the most influential sources based on the topic criteria. Influence is derived by understanding the relationships between the articles and domains within your specific topic - and not the macro influence of the broad internet. See more on this below.

What is shareability?

Shareability is a proprietary score that we assign content based on its propensity to be shared.

Core factors include the presence or absence of an image on the page, and the presence of certain words in the title and body of the content that research has linked to higher clickthrough rates.

What is influence?

Influence is a measure of an article’s ability to drive other content to reference it. We measure influence by defining a network of all of the links in your result set. helps us determine which articles are at the center of a particular conversation, helping you find the sources of a that are leading the discussion.
