1. A computer-implemented method of determining interest in an object of interest in a given situation, wherein said method comprises:

  • obtaining a plurality of situation-based interest rating components for a plurality of situations, wherein each one of said plurality of situation-based interest rating components includes an interest value indicative of interest in said object of interest in one of said plurality of situations, each one of the plurality of situations effectively represented by a plurality of context variables, each one of the plurality of context variables having an associated plurality of possible context values;

    obtaining an input situation that is effectively represented by a plurality of input context values;

    identifying, based on said input situation, one of said situation-based interest rating components as a matching situation-based interest rating component for said input situation;

    determining the relevance of at least a portion of one or more other situation-based interest rating components to said matching situation-based interest rating component; and

    determining, based on said one or more relevancies, a projected interest value indicative of a projected interest in said object of interest in said input situation.
