  • Publication number: 20240394772
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for product recommendation. For each media article, it is determined whether the media article corresponds to commerce content. If so, the media article may be combined with information about a product promoted in the media article to generate combined content. An integrated content to be sent to the user is generated to include combined content for each media article that is commerce content and each media article that is not commerce content. Such integrated content is then sent to the user.
