SocialScope: Enabling Information Discovery on Social Content Sites

Summary: SocialScope proposes a three-layer logical architecture (content management, information discovery, presentation) to integrate and manage combined social and content data on social content sites. Main novelty: a uniform algebraic framework to declaratively specify and optimize diverse discovery and analysis tasks over social+content data. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
