Definitions
- the present invention relates to systems and methods for searching data repositories and in particular, to a system and method for obtaining user preferences and providing user recommendations for unseen physical and information goods and services.
- the technology is designed to identify those documents that are most likely to be related to the query terms and correspondingly relevant to the user's information needs.
- search engines quickly provide relevant information, they repeatedly fail to deliver accurate and current information. This is primarily because the original premises of IR, i.e., persistency of unstructured text documents and the existence of sizable collections, cannot be effectively applied to the constantly changing Internet.
- Directories and search engines are considered "pull" technologies, because users must seek out the information and retrieve it from information sources. Alternate "push” technologies have been developed to reduce the time users must spend in order to obtain information from directories and sift through results returned by search engines.
- the specification process is sensitive to input errors, and its effectivity depends on the user's familiarity with the business domain being searched and the functionality of the agents.
- These systems are also limited in that the user-specified preferences must be specific to fixed domains or applications, preventing them from being easily adapted to other domains or applications.
- the most recent advanced information retrieval systems seek to learn about the user and quickly present to the user recommendations for product and information goods and services based on the learned preferences.
- Three examples of learning user profiles include learning by given examples, stereotyping, and observation.
- the user is requested to answer questions or provide examples of relevant information, and the system processes the information according to internal weighting rules and builds a user profile. While the process is simple, the examples may not be representative and the results are likely to be imprecise.
- the system has defined a stereotype based upon accumulated statistics and users are assigned to one of the stereotypes based upon characteristics provided by the user.
- Recommendations for services in the adjacent physical area are determined according to location and general interest, such as the type of store or restaurant the user desires to find.
- these recommendations do not consider the user's more specific preferences.
- the user must manually navigate a large list of recommendations on a small wireless device screen.
- the current "recommender” systems cannot be tailored easily to wireless devices because the systems are unable to process additional filtering information, such as location-based information, without substantial changes to the embedded algorithms. Even more importantly, these "closed” systems will not be able to easily accommodate more advanced and additional learning algorithms as they become available.
- the invention provides a system and method for obtaining user preferences and providing user recommendations for unseen physical and information goods and services.
- the invention provides an agent-based recommender system that is specific to a given business domain, but that can be easily replicated to other business domains.
- the invention automatically maintains and learns individual user profiles to provide personalized and tailored results without burdening a user.
- the invention represents item profiles and user profiles as multi-level data structures and compares them at the attribute level to allow cross- domain recommendations.
- interests in features are captured rather than interest in items to reduce the amount of information needed from a user in order to learn an accurate profile.
- the invention creates and updates item profiles and user profiles and that predicts a user's tastes and preferences based on at least one filtering method and preferably on a plurality of filtering methods.
- the invention employs user models and domain models, and incorporates four levels of filtering: content- based filtering, collaborative filtering, event-based filtering, and context-based filtering.
- the invention is self-corrective when provided with user feedback to remain sensitive to changes in a user's taste.
- the invention is proactive and oriented toward e- commerce through the use of recommendations and targeted advertisements.
- the invention provides explanations regarding provided recommendations.
- a user's interests are represented at the attribute level, and explanations regarding the reason for a recommendation are provided with reference to search criteria chosen by a user.
- the invention can be adapted to integrate additional filtering methods.
- the invention integrates position-based filtering.
- the figures relate to a system and method of the present invention for obtaining users preferences and providing user recommendations for unseen physical and information goods and services. They are merely illustrative in nature and do not limit the scope of the invention to their embodiments.

- Figure 4 illustrates a collaborative-based filter with shared impressions of multiple users regarding various items.
- Figure 5 illustrates an exemplary web page interface
- Figure 6 illustrates an exemplary mapping database with a multi-level tree-like structure.
- Figure 7 illustrates an exemplary method of the present invention.
- Figure 8 illustrates an exemplary user profile.
- FIG. 9 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram of the present invention.
- User preferences are obtained and user recommendations are provided for unseen physical and information goods and services.
- the invention comprises four levels of filtering: content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, event-based filtering, and context-based filtering.
- the filtering is designed to understand and anticipate a user's physical and information goods and services needs by learning about the user's preferences and the preferences of users similar to the user.
- embodiments of the present invention may comprise any possible number or combination of the described filtering levels, including, for example, only one, two or three of the levels, alternate ordering of the levels, and use of the levels in combination with other filtering methods or recommender systems not described or discussed that would readily be appreciated by one having ordinary skill in the art.
- Content-based filters illustrated in an exemplary embodiment in Figure 3, support the acquisition and maintenance of user profiles. Systems and methods that use these filters commonly represent resources, such as Web pages, and user profiles under the same model.
- Commonly used models include, for example, Boolean models (employing keywords and logical operators), probabilistic models (using prior and posterior distributions of keywords within documents and applying conditional probabilities such as, for example, Bayesian rules, in order to predict relevance), and keyword vector space models.
- a similarity measure that evaluates relevance such as, for example, the cosine similarity measure that common uses term frequency and inverse document frequency (TF- IDF) weights in the vector-based representation of both profiles and instances, compared in the vector space.
- Keyword-based search engines are a special case of stateless content- based filtering systems in which the user explicitly specifies his/her current interest by providing keywords and the system in turn generates a list of possible matches.
- Collaborative-based filters share the impressions of a plurality of users regarding various items.
- the impressions are expressed through a rating schema to enable the prediction of a rating for an unseen item and the subsequent presentation to the user of an item he/she most probably will like.
- the predictions are based on, for example, the previously captured ratings of similar users regarding the particular item, as well as the user's previously captured ratings regarding other items.
- the filtering process may have different levels of automation, ranging from the manual entry of ratings to the automated observation of a user's behavior. Collaborative rating is useful because individuals tend to heed the advice of trusted or similar people.
- Automated collaborative filtering may be used to implement a collaborative predictive function.
- ACF such as, for example, the Pearson-r Correlation method, have been used in "one-to-one marketing" and "personalization” systems to allow people to find other people with similar opinions, analyze the structure of people's interests in various subjects, facilitate the creation of interest groups, and improve the targeting of announcements and advertisements.
- Well-known machine learning mechanisms such as artificial neural networks and Bayesian networks, have also been implemented and evaluated for use as collaborative filters. Additionally, inductive learning and online learning methods have recently been investigated.
- the present invention implements a machine learning method for collaborative filtering called memory-based weighted majority voting (MBWMV) on an attribute-based tree-like structure. This method is explained in greater detail below.
- Event-based filters track the navigational habits of users of data repositories such as the Internet. Contrary to traditional marketing strategies, which are based on statistical profiling, the individual profiling made possible by event-based filters provides detailed information about a user's tastes and preferences. This information can be used to personalize an information-gathering experience and recommend highly relevant physical and information goods and services.
- One example of event-based filtering is the process of recording query-based searches and associating a set of recorded queries with a particular user. The record of queries submitted by a user is useful for modeling the user's interest behavior.
- time is the most important factor in effective event-based filtering, and systems using event-based filters should be able to adapt over time to a user's needs and interests, in order to produce meaningful recommendations to the user throughout the user's interaction with the system.
- Context-based filters use contextual information to determine the relevance of search results.
- contextual information such as a topology among items in a target space
- Such information can be used to define context-sensitive rules tailored to the target space that can be applied to strengthen semantic relationships among different items to more accurately predict a user's interest in a given item.
- context-based filtering is automated citation indexing (ACI), which has been used to improve the dissemination and retrieval of scientific literature in large digital libraries such as the Internet. Scientific citations are an existing topology on top of the scientific literature space that subsumes the concept of reputation in that well- known papers are often referenced. ACI uses this measure of reputation to assign greater weight to certain documents over others.
- the Web can be modeled as a graph and it is possible to use simple measures and heuristics to establish reputation sub-graphs of Web sites to enable the ranking of keyword-based searches.
- a Web page is considered important if important pages are linked to it. That is, if a respected magazine publishes a story about a company and links to it from the magazine's Web page, that company's own Web page becomes more important by association. Measures such as the number of Web pages that link to a page and the number of links contained in a Web page have given rise to methods that calculate "hubs" and "authorities".
- a Web page is considered an authority if it contains large amounts of information about a given topic.
- a Web page is considered a hub if it includes a large number of links to Web pages having information about the topic. For example, a Web page presenting a resource list on a specific topic would be considered a hub.
- hubs and authorities are distinct types of Web pages that exhibit a natural form of symbiosis: a good hub points to many good authorities, while a good authority is pointed to by many good hubs.
- Another topology that may be used in the context-based filtering of the present invention is the popularity of Web pages.
- the popularity of a Web page can be roughly determined by monitoring how many times the Web page has historically been contained in the result set of a keyword-based query. This gives rise to an important distinction between popularity and reputation.
- Popularity is the result of event-based filtering or collaborative- based filtering and encompasses the general opinion of a wide audience regarding a given object, for example, a Web site address ("URL").
- URL Web site address
- Reputation by contrast, is the product of an existing or inferred topology and has a much narrower semantic meaning.
- the present invention comprises a system and method that incorporates, for example, at least one of and preferably all four of the above-described filters to obtain user preferences and provide user recommendations for unseen physical and information goods and services.
- the term "unseen” is used to describe those physical and information goods and services that a user has not yet encountered, does not yet know about, has not yet obtained information about, or has not found. It is used in contrast to the term “seen”, which is used to describe physical and information goods and services that a user has encountered, knows about, has obtained information about, or has found.
- a good or service is "unseen” by a user when that user is unaware of the relevance of the good or service to his/her preferences. Conversely, a good or service is "seen” by a user when that user is made aware of the relevance of the good or service to his/her preferences.
- the preferred embodiment is a vacation recommender system and method that matches a user profile and user preferences with recommendations of vacation destinations.
- the method of the present invention is roughly illustrated in exemplary Figure 7.
- PI Search Criteria Input
- the user through a Web page interface illustrated in exemplary
- Figure 5 is prompted to input search criteria by answering a variety of questions to indicate which vacation features are most important to him/her.
- the user may indicate that he/she is interested in vacations that involve many activities, He/She may optionally further define the search criteria, for example, by indicating that he/she is interested in vacations that involve sports activities generally, or even specific sports activities such as, for example, water polo.
- the system creates a unique identifier for him her and tracks the session. As the user information and search criteria are collected during the session, they are logged and stored in a mapping database of the present invention for later retrieval and use by the system during additional filtering. Once the user has fully specified the search criteria, he/she indicates his/her desire to receive the system's recommendations.
- the user may be asked to register as a user of the system by providing a name, a valid e-mail address and a password. Additionally or alternatively, he/she may be automatically identified, for example, through the use of cookies or by matching information provided by him/her to information in a pre-existing database (such as, for example, the mapping database).
- the mapping database has a multi-level tree-like structure illustrated in exemplary Figure 6 that provides flexibility, enabling the system to be easily adapted to business domains other than the travel industry.
- the mapping database can be, for example, a single database, a set of databases, or any other database arrangement and can include, for example, one or more distributed databases.
- the multi-level structure malces it possible to group and regroup the data without requiring significant changes to the web generating scripts.
- the multi-level structure permits the easy addition and manipulation of categories, subcategories and sub-subcategories, enabling the system to more easily differentiate between basic and advanced (detailed) searches.
- the design of the mapping database enables the system to dynamically generate question and answer templates for the collection of user preferences. By eliminating the need for system administrators to hand-code such templates into hypertext markup language (“HTML”), this enables the system to be easily applied to multiple business domains.
- HTML hypertext markup language
- the multi-level structure of the mapping database enables the system to represent criteria and features specific to a given business domain as a flexible "domain tree".
- a domain tree or “domain space”
- representative domain features such as available activities, weather statistics, and budget information for each destination can be represented as a travel industry domain tree. Consequently, each item to be recommended can be mapped in this domain space. For example, a given vacation may be mapped in this domain space as having few available activities, great weather, and low cost. Similarly, user preferences can be mapped in this domain space.
- a given user may prefer a vacation with many activities and moderately nice weather, but may not be concerned with cost.
- the system is capable of building and mapping a user profile in the domain space as the user interacts with the system over time.
- a user profile is illustrated in exemplary Figure 8.
- the multi-level structure of the mapping database preferably depends on the domain space generated as a result of the domain modeling procedure, although it is not limited to this embodiment.
- the system is able to automatically and accurately match each user with items that correspond to his/her needs, and eliminate those items that do not correspond to his/her needs.
- the mapping procedure also enables the system to present to the user explanations as to why each item was recommended.
- Cross-domain mapping is possible if an attribute defined in one domain space has its equivalent in another domain space. Therefore, interests expressed by a user are not limited to the domain space under which the interest has been captured.
- the corresponding entry in the user profile can be reutilized for completing profiling information in a different domain space.
- cross-domain recommendations may be provided inasmuch as attributes in one or more domain spaces can be analyzed to provide recommendations in another domain space.
- the user profile may be modified over time as discussed above according to an event-based filtering process that uses information about the preferences ("attributes") that the user has "visited", that is, attributes in which the user has expressed an interest. Visited attributes are represented in exemplary Figure 8 by nodes A-*, A 2 , and ⁇ , ⁇ (all dependent from node Userl) and nodes A,, A- . ,-- and A ⁇ , n (all dependent from node User2). To enable the event-based filtering, a plurality of two-value pairs are assigned to each visited attribute and maintained as part of the user profile.
- Each two-value pair comprises a short-term memory value (STM) and a long term-memory value (LTM).
- the LTM is calculated as the ratio of the number of times a user has selected an attribute divided by the total number of searches performed by the user.
- An attribute is assigned an STM of 1 if the attribute has been selected.
- the STM begins to decay at a constant factor ⁇ e[0,l] if the user does not continue to select the attribute during subsequent query sessions.
- the average of the LTM and the STM is calculated using, for example, software, and is defined as the attribute-interest ratio. It is possible to determine in which attributes the user has shown the most interest by examining the attribute's attribute interest ratio. The closer the ratio is to
- the user profile may also be modified, as the user interacts with the system over time, according to a collaborative filtering process that attempts to predict the user's interest in "unvisited” attributes, that is, attributes for which the user has not expressly shown an interest.
- unvisited attributes that is, attributes for which the user has not expressly shown an interest.
- the collaborative filtering process uses information about the similarity between users to predict a user's interest in an unvisited attribute. Initially, a determination is made about which unvisited attribute the user's attribute-interest ratio should be predicted. This determination is made by selecting the most popular visited attribute among those attributes common to profiles of users similar to the user. The similarity among users is calculated prior to this selection by comparing the attribute values in the compared users' profile trees and the extent of any overlap between such values. The basic equations for calculating the
- Vj, . , v i t are the attribute-interest ratios of user [/and user i for attribute y respectively, and % is a factor that depends on the depth of the attribute/ and the maximum depth of the domain tree. is the number of common attributes registered in both user profiles.
- ⁇ i l sim(U,i) mapping database with non-zero similarity that have an attribute-interest ratio for 7 .
- the STM for is set to 1 every time it is selected as a target, but decays in the same way as other attribute's STM, if it is not selected for prediction. If the user visits a predicted node in the future, the event-based information overwrites whatever prediction has been made.
- the system is adapted to let the user manually update, through, for example, a graphical interface, his/her user profile to correct any incorrectly predicted attribute interest.
- the user's manually-specified value overwrites the calculated attribute-interest ratio.
- the system is self-correcting and is adapted to produce more accurate results.
- P2 (Matching) of exemplary Figure 7 in response to the user' s request to receive recommendations, the result space is reduced by applying the content- and context- sensitive rules and generating a matching percentage.
- each vacation destination that may be recommended by the system has been mapped in the same travel industry domain space. Therefore, domain-dependent content- and context-sensitive rules are applied to perform a direct feature-based similarity comparison between the enhanced query (the user's currently provided search criteria combined with the user's mapped user profile) and the mapped representations of the vacation destinations.
- a matching percentage is calculated for each vacation destination that indicates the relevance of the respective vacation destination to the user, with 0% being the least relevant and 100% being the most relevant.
- This matching percentage is calculated as a weighted sum of the values of the ratings assigned to each attribute for each destination, weighted by the value of the attribute in the user's profile and a factor that depends on the depth of the
- a ⁇ is the set of non-zero valued attributes for user U
- U(j) is the attribute-interest ratio of user Cfor attribute j
- I(j) is the rating for attribute./ ascribed to item I
- h is a factor that depends on the depth of the attribute/ within the domain tree and the tree' s maximum depth.
- Data mining can be performed, for example, on the user, session, attribute and attribute value information captured in each search, to generate new context-sensitive rules.
- Examples of context-sensitive rules that can be used to reduce the result space for the travel industry business domain are included in the section entitled "CONTENT- AND CONTEXT-SENSITIVE RULES FOR TRAVEL INDUSTRY BUSINESS DOMAIN".
- the returned items are ranked according to their predicted relevance to the user, and the system presents the sorted list to the user.
- the system further updates the user profile by logging and processing, according to the event- based filtering and collaborative filtering processes described above, both the search criteria and the actions taken by the user in response to the result list.
- P4 Update Model
- the system updates the similarity weights between users that are used during the collaborative filtering process described above to predicts the user's interest in unvisited attributes.
- the present invention incorporates a position-based information filtering process and can be adapted for use with wireless client applications.
- P0 P-filtering
- the input space the space containing all items to be searched, initially comprising, for example, all items represented in the domain space
- the result space are reduced by applying positioning constraints, such as a user location, obtained by the system.
- positioning constraints such as a user location
- a wireless device can obtain the location of a user of the wireless device, either automatically using, for example, an embedded global positioning system or triangulation calculator, or through input by the user. Once the location is obtained, the location information is automatically applied to reduce the result space from which the recommended items are to be extracted.
- those restaurants not found in the urban area where the user is located are filtered out from the result list.
- the similarities between the user and users who are related to the current locality are calculated. It should be noted that when location is considered contextual information, the position-based filtering can also occur as part of the context-based filtering process described above. Because the system's filters are layered, the system is able to easily accommodate additional filters.
- each user profile can include a user willingness attribute that indicates how willing a user is to travel to a more distant location if the recommendation matches his/her preferences closely, or to remain in a local area even though no attractive recommendations have been returned.
- CONTENT-BASED RULES These are based on the values of selected attributes in the domain-tree and/or keyword content searches.
- Query: Include Destination a) If LANGUAGE. VALUE> 2 for all selected attributes. b) Also include all those destinations where LANGUAGE.VALUE 5 in any language, irrespective of value in other languages.
- Travel Cost AIR_FARE.VALUE Else if user is driving then
