Abstract

A system for recommending television programmes has a programme classifier deriving membership functions indicating the degree of membership each programme has of the classes for each programme attribute; a viewer profiler monitoring which programmes are watched by the individual viewer and learning through a Bayesian network a preference profile for the individual as a function of those classes; and a programme recommender serving to recommend to the viewer those available programmes whose membership functions most closely match the preference profile.
