In the age of digital information overload, person-
alized news recommendation systems are essential for enhancing
user experience by tailoring news content to individual prefer-
ences and behaviors. Our project, FocusFeed, aims to manage
information overload and increase user engagement by using
advanced algorithms and user profiling to deliver relevant news.
We utilize a hybrid model consisting of Neural Collaborative
Filtering (NCF) and Content-Based Filtering (CBF) to improve
recommendation efficiency. Additionally, our system provides
a summary feature for each news article, offering users the
option to view either the full article or a concise summary.
This approach aims to improve user satisfaction and offers
monetization opportunities for news provider
