Recommending Content Based on Intersecting User Interest Profiles

摘要

This technology may generate recommendations of relevant content, based on determining intersections among one or more user interest profiles of users, who interact either synchronously or asynchronously. This technology may retrieve interest profiles for particular users, determine intersections among all user interest profiles (or among individual content recommendations), and create a group interest profile, update the particular users' interest profiles based on the group interest profile created, and generate recommendations of content that is determined to be relevant based on the group interest profile. A user may select items from these recommendations of content, add the user-selected content recommendations to a common group pool, generate a group interest profile based on the common group pool, and generate recommendations of content based on the group interest profile. Scores for the recommendations of content may be calculated and the top scoring ones may be displayed to the users in the group.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
retrieving, by one or more computing devices, a first user interest profile of a first user and a second user interest profile of a second user from a social network; generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first set of recommendations of content for the first user based on the first user interest profile and a second set of recommendations of content for the second user based on the second user interest profile; determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first intersection between the first set of recommendations of content for the first user and the second set of recommendations of content for the second user; identifying, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a shared set of recommendations of content from the first intersection between the first set of recommendations of content for the first user and the second set of recommendations of content for the second user; generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a first shared interest element for a group of the first user and the second user based on the shared set of recommendations of content; generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a group interest profile for the group of the first user and the second user based on the first shared interest element; and generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a third set of recommendations of content for the group of the first user and the second user based on the group interest profile.
