Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing user-concept scores for a first set of users, wherein each user-concept score is associated with a user-concept pair; calculating recommended user-concept scores for a subset of user-concept pairs in a second set of users. The first set of users may be discrete from the second set of users. A recommendation-algorithm may compute the recommended user-concept scores for a user-concept pair by optimizing an objective function comprising a plurality of predicted rating functions. Each predicted rating function may be determined using a user score, a concept score, a user-bias value associated with the user, as well as a concept-bias value associated with the concept. Finally, the method may include sending recommendations for one or more concepts based on the recommended user-concept scores for the second set of users.
