Question

I am looking for an algorithm to replicate or perhaps improve upon a facebook-esque content ranking algorithm. To that end, each individual user’s feed should be tailored to him/her through the parameters of affinity, time decay, and content type. What are some good resources / launchpads to reference in order to implement an algorithm for a facebook style personalized content feed?

Answer 1

That is not a trivial project. That said, bishop is my go-to machine learning book, and the stanford book is similarly for information retrieval.
