ABSTRACT:
A system and a method to provide a personalized feed to a user. Information regarding the user is obtained from the user via customization content. The customization content indicates various categories of content for the user to select from. In response to the user selecting his or her categories of interest, a feed personalization module selects content pieces whose associated categories match the user selected categories. The feed personalization module then provides a personalized feed including these content pieces to the user. The personalized feed is provided to the user via a unique identifier assigned to the user. Using the unique identifier, the user's actions with respect to the provided feed is tracked. The feed is further re-personalized according to the user's actions. The feed is also re-personalized based on an input from the user indicating the relevance of the feed to the user's interests.
