METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECOMMENDATION OF CONTENT ITEMS

摘要

A method (300) of generating recommendations for content items comprises providing a domain ontology where concepts are characterized by a term vector with terms and associated weights. Associated term sets, each of which comprises a set of terms that characterize a content item, are further provided (301). A concept set is generated (305) for each associated term set by determining the concepts of the domain ontology that match the terms of the associated term set. In addition, a user profile for a user is provided (307) where the user profile comprises at least some of the concepts of the ontology coupled with preference weights. Recommendations for content items are generated (309) based on the plurality of associated concept sets and the user profile. The invention may allow improved and/or facilitated generation of recommendations from text based characterizing data.
