Abstract

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a candidate object with which a user can interact within a network service. For each of a first plurality of objects with which the user has had a positive interaction, a first value representing a commonality between the candidate object and each of the first plurality of objects is determined. For each of a second plurality of objects with which a user has had a negative interaction, a second value representing a commonality between the candidate object and each of the second plurality of objects is determined. An aggregate positive distance is determined using a plurality of the first values. An aggregate negative distance is determined using a plurality of the second values. The candidate object is displayed or not displayed to the user as a recommendation based upon a difference between the aggregate positive distance and the aggregate negative distance.
