Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for performing skill-based recommendation of events. During operation, the system obtains member attributes for a member of an online professional network. Next, the system matches the location of the member and one or more of the member attributes to event attributes of a set of events. The system then uses the member attributes and the event attributes to calculate a set of relevance scores representing a relevance of the events to the member. Finally, the system uses the set of relevance scores to output one or more of the events as recommendations to the member.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining member attributes for a member of an online professional network;
- matching a location of the member and one or more of the member attributes to event attributes of a set of events;
- using the member attributes and the event attributes to calculate, by a computer system, a set of relevance scores representing a relevance of the events to the member;
- and
- using the set of relevance scores to output a subset of the events as recommendations to the member.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- obtain member attributes for a member of an online professional network;
- match the location of the member and one or more of the member attributes to event attributes of a set of events;
- use the member attributes and the event attributes to calculate a set of relevance scores representing a relevance of the events to the member;
- and
- use the set of relevance scores to output one or more of the events as recommendations to the member.
A system, comprising:
- an analysis module comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the system to:
- obtain member attributes for a member of an online professional network;
- match the location of the member and one or more of the member attributes to event attributes of a set of events;
- and
- use the member attributes and the event attributes to calculate a set of relevance scores representing a relevance of the events to the member;
- and
- a presentation module comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the system to use the set of relevance scores to output one or more of the events as recommendations to the member.
