Suggested Keywords

摘要

A suggested keywords system is configured for identifying phrases, which are most relevant to experience and expertise of a professional network member, and which the member may be interested in weaving into their profile summary. The suggested keywords system generates a model, for each phrase, that calculates probability of that phrase being present in a profile that is characterized by the absence of certain attributes and by the presence of certain attributes. Based on the model, the suggested keywords system calculates a ranking value for the phrase for a particular target profile. The phrases with the higher rank are considered to be more relevant in describing professional background of the target member. A certain number of phrases that have the highest ranking are presented to the member as suggested keywords to be included in their professional summary.
