Abstract
Meaningful words or phrases may be extracted from the information and used as tags. Weights may be determined for the tags, and tag clouds may be generated for the items. The tag clouds may be stored to a data store. Information specifying a tag cloud may be received. Recommended items for which the tag clouds most closely match the specified tag cloud may be identified. Standard vector space distance calculations, for example the cosine distance between the tag clouds, may be used to determine cloud similarity. The results may be filtered to optimize relevance, novelty and familiarity in accordance with preferences of the user. The recommended items may be displayed to a user interface. Users may interact with the user interface to steer the recommendations towards more relevant content.
