Abstract
A system and method for learning a new user's interests in the absence of historical data includes: generating a user interface on which a user interacts in a session; formulating questions such that a user response to the questions indicates a preference; presenting the questions to the user on the user interface; receiving responses from the user, the responses indicating user preferences; and populating a new user profile with the user preferences. The steps of presenting, receiving, and populating are repeated until the session terminates.
