Abstract

A server device receives a user request and retrieves, based on the user request, a list of popular topics, a generic ranking score for each topic in the list of popular topics, and a topic profile for a first topic in the list of popular topics. The server device identifies a user profile for the user and determines a personalization score for the first topic in the list of popular topics, where the personalization score for the first topic is based on one or more similarities between the user profile and the topic profile for the first topic. The server device determines a revised ranking score for the first topic in the list of popular topics based on the personalization score and the generic ranking score for the first topic; and ranks the topics in the list of popular topics, using the revised ranking score for the first topic.
