Generating collaborative orderings of information pertaining to products to present to target users

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating collaborative orderings of information pertaining to products to present to target users are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes generating, for each of multiple target users, a personalized initial ordering of multiple statements pertaining to an entity by analyzing the statements and user-specific information; calculating, for each of the target users, a utility score that comprises (i) similarity between a consensus ordering of the statements and the given target user's personalized initial ordering of the statements, and (ii) similarity between the other target users' personalized initial orderings of the statements; generating a final ordering of the statements by enabling, based on the calculated utility scores, agents representing the target users to exchange revised orderings of the multiple statements via one or more automated communication iterations; and outputting the statements, in the final ordering, to the target users.
