The Problem
To be effective, companies need to target increasingly precise interests within diverse audiences.
Conventional approaches to recommendation systems leverage indirect data such as aggregate purchases or histories of past interests. Most participants in advertising and e-commerce markets, however, do not produce sufficient data to describe these markets to any significant depth, particularly with respect to the individual interests of consumers.
Most recommendation systems, therefore, target offerings based on broad attributes (or trends) within a market, not based on fine-grained interests. Further, these solutions segment and organize offerings in advance of consumers articulating their interests.
This conventional approach of trying to predict the interests of a target audience in advance is complex, expensive, and often ineffective.
Consequently, current advertising and e-commerce solutions require the participants to express their interests in extremely narrow terms, limiting the productivity of their solutions. Connections between interests and deals cannot be surfaced, reducing the overall rate of transactions.
