Archetypes

To generate recommendations for items that no mentors have rated, the Preference Engine uses synthetic users called "archetypes." These users possess a particular characteristic very strongly.

For example, an archetype who only likes action movies might rate all action movies very highly. Recommendations from archetypes are added to recommendations produced by mentors.

Archetype configuration includes:

• Set the number of archetypes in cache
• Enable or disable the use of archetypes
