Systems and Methods for Operating and Regulating Recommender Systems

Abstract

The new methods and mechanisms disclosed are useful in the context of information exchange systems that facilitate a flow of information items from information producers to information consumers, for example, social networks, online publishing systems, ad networks, and Recommender Systems in general. The new systems and methods improve the precision for determining the bounds on a set of items that may be included in the information stream of the information consumer, and improve consumer participation. The improvements also provide additional support for handling new metadata attributes.
