ASSOCIATIVE CONTENT RETRIEVAL

摘要

A retrieval system is provided. First description data including dimension data for a first identified content item is extracted. This process may be repeated for additional available identified content items . Candidate description data is extracted. Then, a set of vector values for each candidate content item may be generated, each vector value representing a degree of similarity between the dimension data for a dimension, for example, metadata, usage history, genre, content type, of the first description data and the corresponding dimension data of the candidate description data. A similar candidate content item from the candidate content items may be selected based on the degrees of similarity represented by the generated set of vector values, and is provided.
