Abstract
A system and method for controlled introduction of noise to information filtering, comprises requesting, directly or indirectly, infatuation by a user having a user profile, obtaining the requested information, generating the noise related to the requested information and the user profile, and presenting the requested information and the noise in an information stream. Generating can further comprise finding aggregate profiles relevant to the user profile, obtaining the noise from non-overlapping parts of the aggregate profiles, and prioritizing the noise based on predefined rules. In one embodiment, each of the aggregate profiles comprises at least one characteristic found in the user profile. The aggregate profiles can be constructed using data mining or data aggregation mechanisms. In one embodiment, the noise is generated using random selection or complex selection algorithms.
