AI Relevance Scoring

A machine learning approach to evaluating scraped web content to determine how closely it matches a user's specific informational intent.

Definition

Keyword alerts often trigger false positive notifications. AI relevance scoring resolves this by processing newly discovered text through Large Language Models (LLMs) instructed with the user's exact goal.

The output is typically a quantitative score (e.g., 0 to 100), allowing systems to only notify users when the threshold of relevance is met.

Key Concepts

Semantic Understanding

Going beyond keyword matching to comprehend the actual meaning and context of the text.

Noise Reduction

Automatically discarding boilerplate text, cookie banners, or unrelated sidebars.

Fallback Chains

Routing requests to different AI models (e.g., Llama, Gemma, Qwen) depending on availability to ensure continuous scoring.

Why it Matters for Watchflare

Every piece of content scraped by Watchflare is run through a multi-model AI fallback chain to assign it a strict 0-100 relevance score, filtering out all noise natively.
