Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for feedback-driven provision of information in relation to a plurality of information resources. Some such methods involve: accessing information resources from one or more information resource repositories to establish a mapping between each information resource and each of the other information resources; maintaining a state table comprising a plurality of state-table records, each state-table record attributing a value to a state-action pair, the state-action pair comprising an indication of a series of one or more actions in relation to the information resources; monitoring actions of a first user in relation to the information resources; receiving a feedback metric related to interaction of the first user with the information resources; using the feedback metric as a basis for updating the values of a subset of the state-table records, the subset of the state-table records comprising state-action pairs which correspond to the monitored actions of the first user in relation to the information resources; and providing output information related to the information resources based at least in part on the updated values of the state-table records.
