What Do Hyperlink-Proposals and Request-Prediction Have in Common?

This paper focuses on fundamental similarities between proposing links for hypertexts and predicting user-requests. It briefly outlines the theoretical background of both categories of problems and, as an example, explores common implementation strategies for handling them. Even though there are some important differences between link-proposals and prediction of requests, we believe that in regarding these categories as special cases of a more general ract mathematical model, improvements on the one side will also result in advantages for the other.
