Abstract

See full text

A serendipity generating method, system, and device generates recommendations by identifying contrasting corresponding topic affinity values between users who more generally have a relatively high degree of similarity between corresponding topic affinity values. The topic affinity values may represent user interests with respect to topics and the topic affinity values may be inferred from usage behaviors, including geographic location information. Recommendations may be further in accordance with an assessment of the amount or quality of the usage behaviors from which the topic affinity values are derived and/or in accordance with the application of a probabilistic process. The recommendations may comprise computer-implemented objects that have relatively high affinities to topics associated with the contrasting corresponding topic affinity values.
