Online publishing firm LOUD3R has today launched a network of 25 websites aimed at niche audiences.

The sites, which include NEW3R for gadgets and technology and WOOF3R for dogs, feature a mixture of human input and content generated by semantic technology.

The semantic engine automatically aggregates and filters multimedia content from a ‘source list’ of websites selected by editors. A glossary of terms is created to teach the engine how to identify that content.

“The platform is capable of unsupervised learning, and automatically improves over time through user feedback across the LOUD3R sites,” the release explains.

The publisher plans to launch at least 10 new sites on the network each month
