Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing a personalized news stream to a user. One method includes an operation for identifying user features associated with a user. The user features include personal features and social features. The personal features are based on activities of the user and the profile of the user. The social features are based on information about social connections of the user. The method further includes operations for extracting content features from a corpus of content items, for identifying intersections between user features and content features, and for assigning weights to the content features from the corpus based on the identified intersections. A score for each content item is determined based on the content features and the respective weights of the content items. The content items are then ranked based on the scores. One or more of the ranked content items are displayed.
