I. Content Compass Feature Specification
This document outlines the feature specification for ConentCompass, a system designed to recommend articles for inclusion on a website based on trending topics identified through Google Trends.
A. System Overview
Content Compass will analyze user browsing behavior and leverage Google Trends data to suggest relevant articles that align with current user interests and trending topics. This will help improve user engagement and content discoverability on the website.
B. Requirements
Data Collection:
- User Browsing Data: Content Compass will collect anonymized data on user browsing behavior, including:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on each page
- Click-through rates on internal links
- Google Trends Data: The system will integrate with Google Trends API to retrieve data on trending topics. This data will include:
- Search queries with high popularity growth
- Related searches
Data Analysis:
- User Interest Identification: The system will analyze user browsing data to identify patterns and topics of interest to each user. This may involve techniques like collaborative filtering or topic modeling.
- Trend Analysis: Content Compass will analyze Google Trends data to identify emerging trends and popular search queries.
Recommendation Generation:
- Based on the analysis of user browsing data and Google Trends data, the system will recommend articles relevant to:
- User interests
