Abstract

The recommendation system provided with an on-line connection system identifies on-line recommendations of videos and generates a user interface (UI) by including into the resulting presentation selected recommendations of videos. The recommendations of videos presented in the UI are organized into groups that are topically coherent, where each group is decorated with a context annotation—an explanation of why the recommendations in a given carousel are relevant for a member. Each video that is being evaluated by the recommendation system with respect to a subject member profile is assigned an annotation that is selected from a plurality of potentially applicable annotations. The technical problem of optimizing an order of presentation of recommendations grouped by context annotations, in a UI where annotations drive the layout, is addressed by deriving ranks for different context annotations based on global and personalized click through rates and using these values assigned to respective context annotations in constructing the UI.
