Abstract

See full text

Each user is represented by a mixture of topics, e.g., one or more topics, and a probability of interest in each topic in the mixture, and given the target user, one or more other users can be recommended, each user that is recommended to the target user is determined to have a topical interest similarity with the target user, e.g., the target user's interest in one or more topics of the mixtures of topics is determined to be similar to a recommended interest in the one or more topics of the mixture of topics. The target user and the one or more recommended users can be said to have similar topical interests. The target user can use the user recommendation to establish an interactive dialogue, for example, with one or more users identified in the user recommendation.
