Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 A generalized system for recommending media is shown. This figure is shown for simplicity of illustration only, and for generality to avoid discussion of different system hardware designs at this point. It briefly shows how agents flow, for example, can be passed back and forth between reference 103, the online system, and reference 110, the offline system, and agents can also be passed from reference 116 and 117, external sources, to reference 110.

[0031] The basic idea of ​​having two systems for recommending media is to leverage the proxies, since the proxies of each system can be individually modified and used in each system independently. Since one system retrieves improved agents or obtains information about other controlling agents in various ways to improve the agent's overall performance, while another system can make media recommendations based on the agent, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the agent simply The content of the file can...

Abstract

A method and a system for the creation of agents to be used for recommending media content to a user (207). The agent comprises a profile of media content and can further comprise an algorithm for recommending media (201) on a media system (208). The media system (208) can be a VCR, a TV, a set-top box, a DVD player, a radio or a personal computer. The method includes the steps of validating an agent in an off-line system (210), transferring agents forth and back between the off-line system (210) and an on-line system (203). The step of validating includes the steps of composing a test set of historical content, estimating scores of an agent in the test set, determine average difference between agent scores and historical relevance feedback, determining performance of an agent using average difference of all agents over the test set and reliability of historical relevance feedback. The method further includes the steps of nominating agents in the on-line system (203), selecting agents and copying agents forth and back between the on-line system (203) and the off-line system (210); importing, generating, training, ranking, nominating and deleting agents in the off-line system (210).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of creating an agent for recommending media content in a system. The invention also relates to a computer system for carrying out the method. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a computer program product for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Patent US 6,005,597 discloses an embodiment of a method and apparatus for program selection. It uses viewers' viewing preferences to create dynamic viewer profiles, which are used to automatically rate available programming. Available programs are presented to the user in descending order of predicted interest in the form of an on-screen menu or an on-screen preview window. Patent US 6,005,597 obtains data about available TV program titles and themes from a website listing program themes and descriptive information. The invention disclosed in US6,005,597 monitors viewer habits and builds a progressive model of viewer preferences, such as pro...
