Abstract
A system and method for inferring appropriate courses for recommendation based on member characteristics is disclosed. A social networking system receives a request for recommended courses, wherein the request is associated with a member of the social networking system. The social networking system identifies a group of members who are similar to the first member. The social networking system creates a list of recently learned skills by members of the group of members similar to the member. For a particular skill in the list of skills, the social networking system determines whether the member possesses the particular skill. In accordance with a determination that the member does not possess the particular skill, the social networking system identifies at least one course that teaches the particular skill from a list of courses. The social networking system transmits the identified course to the client device for display as a recommended course.
