Personalizing Search Results Based on User-Generated Content

摘要

Systems, methods, and media for responding to search queries from a computer user with personalized search results are presented. A user vector is generated for a user. The user vector is generated by repeatedly accessing a plurality of network sites to obtain user-generated content, and updating the user vector according to the user-generated content. Moreover, a plurality of search results is identified in response to a query. Each of the search results is associated with a score. A user vector is obtained and the scores of the search results are weighted. A subset of the search results having favorable scores is selected and a search results page is generated from the subset of search results. The generated search results page is returned in response to the search query.
