As users navigate through online document collections on high-volume Web servers, they depend on good recommendations. We present a novel maximum-entropy algorithm for generating accurate recommendations and a data-clustering approach for speeding up model training. Recommender systems attempt to automate the process of "word of mouth" recommendations within a community. Typical application environments such as online shops and search engines have many dynamic aspects.
