Abstract
Disclosed are ways to generate and present recommendations which provide a user with the ability to explore the follow-on consequences of accepting the recommendations. In some aspects, a method includes receiving a first user input including a recommendation topic, presenting, via a display, an exploration structure including a node corresponding to the recommendation topic, receiving data corresponding to the node from a knowledge repository, analyzing the received data to determine at least one follow-on recommendation based on the node, and presenting each determined follow-on recommendation in the exploration structure as a child node of the node corresponding to the recommendation topic.
Claims20
A method implemented by at least one processor comprising hardware, the method comprising:
- receiving a user input including a recommendation topic;
- presenting, via a display, an exploration structure including a node corresponding to the recommendation topic;
- receiving data corresponding to the node from a knowledge repository;
- analyzing the received data to determine at least one follow-on recommendation based on the node;
- and
- presenting each determined follow-on recommendation in the exploration structure as a child node of the node corresponding to the recommendation topic.
A system comprising:
- a display;
- and
- at least one processor comprising hardware, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive a first user input including a recommendation topic;
- present, via a display, an exploration structure including a node corresponding to the recommendation topic;
- receive data corresponding to the node from a knowledge repository;
- analyze the received data to determine at least one follow-on recommendation based on the node;
- and
- present each determined follow-on recommendation in the exploration structure as a child node of the node corresponding to the recommendation topic.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor comprising hardware, configure the at least one hardware processor to:
- receive a first user input including a recommendation topic;
- present, via a display, an exploration structure including a node corresponding to the recommendation topic;
- receive data corresponding to the node from a knowledge repository;
- analyze the received data to determine at least one follow-on recommendation based on the node;
- and
- present each determined follow-on recommendation in the exploration structure as a child node of the node corresponding to the recommendation topic.
