Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for providing recommendations to users of a computer-based network of items of potential interest to the users. Items and people of potential interest to users may be determined using obtained word-based social behavior information, semantically-sensitive vocabulary taxonomies, and determined implied topic-specific social networks. The user may be presented with a graphical user interface including the recommendation, an explanation of the rationale relating to the recommendation, and an opportunity for the user to provide feedback relating to the recommendation or the rationale. The feedback may be used to improve future recommendations.
