Every user therefore shares an URL that links to webpage that 'represents' the user.\r\n\r\nI already set up a system that is able to scrape the main textual content from the HTML, extract the semantic entities and calculate the similarity (a value between 0 and 1) of the two texts.\r\n\r\nGiven that value I'm already able to 'recommend' a User to another, simply based on the similarity score of the profile texts.\r\n\r\nNow I'm thinking about improving this recommendation with a system like GER. Interpreting a profile as an item and interpreting the view of a profile as event I could easily get recommendations from GER... BUT:\r\n\r\nHow to combine the recommendation based on user behavior and that one based on text similarity so that both together give a better result?\r\n\r\nAlso: Given two profiles of two users (U1 and U2). Could GER calculate a 'level of recommendation'... that would be an answer to the question of U1: \"How recommended is U2 to me\"?\r\n\r\nI'm looking forward to this discussion...."}}
