Methodology
To provide and recommend content, a content discovery platform uses a search algorithm to provide keyword-related search results. User personalization and recommendation are used in the determination of appropriate content. Recommendations are either based on a single article or show, a particular academic field or genre of TV, or a full user profile. Bespoke analysis can also be done to understand specific requirements relating to user behavior and activity.
A variety of algorithms can be used:
- Collaborative filtering of different users' behavior, preferences, and ratings.
- Automatic content analysis and extraction of common patterns.
- Social recommendations based on personal choices from other people.
Academic content discovery
An emerging market for content discovery platforms is academic content.[3][4] Approximately 6000 academic journal articles are published daily, making it increasingly difficult for researchers to balance time management with staying up to date with relevant research.[1] Though traditional tools academic search tools such as Google Scholar or PubMed provide a readily accessible database of journal articles, content recommendation in these cases are performed in a 'linear' fashion, with users setting 'alarms' for new publications based on keywords, journals or particular authors.
Google Scholar provides an 'Updates' tool that suggests articles by using a statistical model that takes a researchers' authorized paper and citations as input.[1] Whilst these recommendations have been noted to be extremely good, this poses a problem with early career researchers which may be lacking a sufficient body of work to produce accurate recommendations.[1]
Television
As the connected television landscape continues to evolve, search and recommendation are seen as having an even more pivotal role in the discovery of content.
