Building a Topical Learning Model in a Content Management System

摘要

A content management system receives a plurality of topics extracted from documents stored by the system. Pairings between the topics are generated, where a pairing between two topics is generated responsive to the two topics appearing in proximity to one another in one or more of the documents. A complexity of each received topic is also determined. The content management system generates a progression of the topics based on the complexity of the topics and the pairings between the topics. The progression comprises a sequential ordering of paired topics, in which a topic in the ordering has a higher complexity than a preceding topic. Responsive to a user of the content management system accessing content associated with a topic in the progression, a next topic in the progression is recommended to the user.
