Sophia Recommends Unveiled at BookExpo America 2013
Sophia Recommends Discovers Books Based on User Interest; Driving Increases in Publisher Revenue.
- (1888PressRelease) June 01, 2013 - New York, NY -- Sophia Search, the innovation leader in semantic content analysis, today announced a new product offering, Sophia Recommends™. Sophia Recommends is a solution that helps publishers reach readers by making book recommendations based on an understanding of their current interests. It does this by helping readers discover books, articles or videos by intelligently understanding their interests based on the content they are currently consuming online in real time. In doing so, it enables publishers to bring in more revenue by more accurately matching customers interests to books they want to buy.
Before Sophia Recommends, most publishers have been using tools that recommend additional content selections based on popularity, sales data, friend recommendations and behavioral data. Yet, what was missing was intelligence on what a user is most interested in at any given moment in time. Sophia Recommends enables "searchless search" by allowing the discovery of books automatically, by understanding a reader's interest based on the web content that they are currently consuming. What's more, it takes this intelligence one step further to automatically find similar content, like articles, blog entries, videos or consumer products. These recommendations are then highly relevant to the reader's interest, without relying on cookies or any former knowledge of the reader - dramatically improving site engagement and sales.
Key Benefits of Sophia Recommends Include:
· Increased revenue for publishers by more accurately targeting customers with the books that reflect their interests at any moment
· Ability to automatically generate recommendations among books, articles, products, audio, video and any other text-enhanced content
· Advanced filter capabilities to make finding relevant content even easier
· Easy integration through industry standard protocols
"The increasing proliferation of content across multiple channels (online, mobile and tablet) has changed the dynamics of the online publishing industry," said David Patterson, CEO, Sophia. "Publishers of all types want to showcase their titles to readers at the point when they know they are most interested in them. This is the fundamental problem we solve. Our focus is on helping publishers and retailers increase sales by providing the intelligent link between books and readers who are interested them."
Sophia Recommends is based on the Sophia for Publishing platform. Sophia for Publishing is an advanced discovery engine and API set that automatically understands reader interests based on what they are currently consuming online.
