Abstract: In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves a system and method relating to evaluating the quality of recommendations provided to a member of a recommendation service. Techniques and embodiments described herein may be applied to various recommendation services/engines. Middleware may be used to receive a member ID from a user and forward the member ID to a recommendation engine without the user having to log on as the member to access recommendations. Results of the recommendation engine may be received by the middleware and forwarded to the user for the selected member to be displayed proximate to the member profile. The user may annotate the recommendations with a relevancy rating to evaluate the quality of the recommendation engine and provide input to retrain recommendation models of the engine. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
