Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method are described herein for training a similarity model that is used to predict similarity between item pairs. In one example, the apparatus is configured to train (build) the similarity model by using machine learning (e.g., a multivariate multiple liner regression process) that utilizes an independent variable including metadata (e.g., title, genre, writer, plot keywords) associated with training items, and two dependent variables including user contributed similarity scores for training item pairs, and collaborative filtering similarity scores for the training item pairs. Then, the apparatus uses the trained model to predict similarity between items.
