Abstract: A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms and lets users briefly describe the intended recipient (i.e., interests, eccentricities, previously successful gifts). Based on that input, the recommendation software system and method determines the meaning of the entered terms and creatively discover connections to gift recommendations from the vast array of possibilities. The user may then make a selection from these recommendations. The search/recommendation engine allows the user to find gifts through connections that are not limited to previously available information on the Internet. Thus, interests can be connected to buying behavior by relating terms to respective items.

Abstract: A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms taken from user profiles, which can include interests, eccentricities, age, gender, and location information associated with the user. The interest information can include music, movies, sports and personality traits. Based on the user's profile information, the system determines which ad from a stock of ads is best suited to a given profile and delivers that ad. The system can be used to match user profiles to provide mate-matching.

Abstract: A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms taken from user profiles at social networking and online dating applications and blogs. The profiles and blogs can include interests, eccentricities, age, gender, and location information associated with the user. The interest information can include music, movies, sports and personality traits. Based on the user's profile information, the system determines which ad from a stock of ads is best suited to a given profile and delivers that ad. The system can enable advertisers to create and manage online advertising campaigns using a campaign manager in which they attach descriptions to ads in their inventory, thereby generating a profile for each ad which is then compared to the profiles in the target online environment.
