Abstract
A content recommendation method and system are described, according to various implementation. In an implementation, the method and system generate a record identifying a set of content items interacted with by users of a content system, where each content item is associated with one or more topics. A confidence score associated with each of a set of topics associated with the set of content items is generated, where the confidence score represents a quantity of instances a respective topic appears in a collection of content items. A portion of the set of topics having a confidence score that exceeds a threshold confidence level is determined. A search of the collection of content items is executed to identify a serendipitous candidate content item that includes multiple portions of the set of topics previously interacted with by a user. The method and system determines, based on the record, that the candidate serendipitous content item has not been interacted with by the user system. The method and system generates a plurality of content zones having a depth defined based on user engagement measurements, wherein the plurality of content zones includes a targeted content zone including the candidate serendipitous content item.
