Abstract
Systems and associated methods are described for providing content recommendations. The system accesses a plurality of recommendation algorithms and assigns a plurality of weight values to each prediction algorithm. Then, the system generates a set of candidate weight combinations, such that each candidate combination includes a weight value assigned to each prediction algorithm. Then requests for content items are received over a predetermined period of time. For each combination, the system generates a set of recommended content items and an evaluation metric that is based on matches with requests. Afterwards, the system replaces a candidate combination that resulted in a generation of a lowest evaluation metric. The aforementioned steps are repeated until the evaluation metrics stop improving. Then display identifiers are displayed for a set of recommended content items generated for a candidate combination with the highest evaluation metric.
