Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for selecting and/or ranking web-based content predicted to have the greatest interest to individual users. In particular, articles are ranked in terms of predicted interest for different users. This is done by optimizing an interest model and in particular through a method of bilinear regression and Bayesian optimization. The interest model is populated with data regarding users, the articles, and historical interest trends that types of users have expressed towards types of articles.
