Abstract

A system is configured to identify a particular channel that provides content, where the particular channel includes content items; determine a respective first score, for each of the content items, that reflects a measure of quality of the content item; determine a topic distribution, for each of the content items, that indicates a topic conveyed by the content item; assign a second score, to the particular channel, that reflects a measure of quality of the particular channel; determine a particular term for which the particular channel is authoritative based on the first scores, the topic distributions, and the second score; and store information identifying the particular channel as authoritative for the particular term. A new content item, associated with the particular channel and relating to the particular term, may be promoted in search results for a search query relating to the particular term.
