TAXONOMIC CATEGORIZATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

摘要

An online content discovery, personalization, predictive, and user enablement system, which uses semantic analysis, word frequency statistics, and a taxonomy of interests hierarchy in order to provide thematic filtering based on a user's personal interest profile. This retrieval system includes a user profile which is transparent to the user and can be viewed, enhanced, and modified by the user, and which is comprised of an aggregation of user identified interests. The retrieval system also includes a presentation of a continuous stream of user-specific personalized content to the user based on the information contained in user's profile. A taxonometric algorithm is used by the system to predict further interests personally relevant to the user and to add the further interests to the user's interest profile upon confirmation from the user thereby improving the user's experience.
