Event recommendation system

Abstract:

An event recommendation system recommends events for a candidate attendee. The system recommends an event based on characteristics of the candidate attendee and characteristics of prior attendees that attended a prior occurrence of the event. A prior attendee may have a positive or negative experience with the prior occurrence of the event. A positive experience may be defined, for example, as enjoying the event, completing the event, or performing well in the event. A negative experience may be defined, for example, as not enjoying the event, not completing the event, or not performing well in the event. An event is recommended to a candidate attendee if the candidate attendee has similar characteristics to a prior attendee that had a positive experience. An event is not recommended to a candidate attendee if the candidate attendee has similar characteristics as a prior attendee that had a negative experience.
