1. A method comprising:
- receiving, in association with a first content to be rendered on user equipment, a first vector, the first vector being a first combination of relative positional values along corresponding sliding scales;
determining a relevance between the first content and a second content based, at least in part, on a mathematical distance in a vector space between the first vector and a second vector associated with the second content, the second vector being a second combination of relative positional values along the corresponding sliding scales; and
based on the determination, initiating a rendering of the second content on the user equipment,wherein each of the corresponding sliding scales has a minimum label and a maximum label, and the second vector corresponds to a subspace of the vector space, and the subspace is used to classify the first vector,wherein the corresponding sliding scales comprise two or more interlocked scales, the interlocked scales moving concurrently when there is a change to any of the interlocked scales, andwherein the method comprises sending data indicating the minimum label and the maximum label for each of the sliding scales, wherein the first vector is received in response to sending the data indicating the minimum label and the maximum label.

Abstract
An approach is provided for receiving, in association with first content to be rendered on user equipment, a vector of one or more values for a corresponding one or more sliding scales. A determination is made of a relationship of the first content to second content based, at least in part, on the vector received. Each value of the vector represents a relative position along a corresponding sliding scale between a minimum label and a maximum label for the sliding scale.
