Tune your recommendations

What you can do

On the Recommendation settings page, which you open from the Settings link at the top-right of the For You screen, you can tune your recommendations and search results yourself.

The page has three setting areas:

• Nearest station — register the station you often start from (optional). It’s used as your starting point for MCP exhibition search
• Interested tags — choosing “interested” from the tags on exhibitions you’ve added to your Favorites makes those exhibitions rank higher in your recommendations
• Hidden tags — choosing tags you’re not interested in removes exhibitions with those tags from your recommendations and from MCP exhibition search results

You need to log in to use these settings.

Note that the candidate interested tags are gathered automatically from the tags on exhibitions you’ve added to your Favorites. The more Favorites you add, the more tag candidates appear.

How to use it

Open the settings page

1. Open For You from the navigation at the bottom of the screen
2. Tap the Settings link to the right of the “For You” heading
3. The “Recommendation settings” page opens

Register your nearest station

Tap Register a station in the “Nearest station” section, enter the station name, then tap Save to register it.

• Latitude/longitude are optional — it’s fine to save with them blank. They’re registered automatically when you use the MCP integration
• If you want to enter them manually — use the “Search Google for ○○ station latitude longitude” link to look them up and enter them. A link to check the value you’re entering on a map appears automatically too
• When you change the station name — since the existing coordinates may belong to a different station, you can choose on the spot between “Reset coordinates and save” and “Keep current coordinates and save”

You can edit a registered station with Change station name, or unregister it with Delete.

Set your interested tags

Switch the tab to Interested tags to see Genre, Theme, and Feature accordions.

1. Tap the heading of the type you want to set (e.g. Genre) to expand it
2. Turn on the checkbox for tags you’re interested in
3. Tags you turn on are marked “interested” and get prioritized in your recommendations

The number of tags you’ve marked “interested” appears next to each type’s heading as “N interested”. Clearing the checkbox removes the “interested” setting.

Set your hidden tags

Switch the tab to Hidden tags to see the same Genre, Theme, and Feature accordions.

1. Tap the heading of the type you want to set to expand it
2. Turn on the checkbox for tags you don’t want shown
3. Tags you turn on are marked “hidden”, and exhibitions with those tags are removed from your recommendations and from MCP exhibition search results

The number of tags you’ve hidden appears next to each type’s heading as “N hidden”. Clearing the checkbox removes the hidden setting.

”Interested” and “hidden” can’t be set at the same time

You can’t set the same tag to both “interested” and “hidden”. For example, if you mark a tag that’s currently “hidden” as “interested” on the Interested tags tab, the “hidden” setting is automatically removed.

A note like ※ Currently set to "hidden". Turning this ON will override it appears on the tag you’re setting, so you can confirm the override in advance.

Common stumbling points

• No candidates appear on the “Interested tags” tab — Candidates are gathered from the tags of exhibitions you’ve added to your Favorites. First, build up your Want to go list or your Visited records
• You checked a tag but it doesn’t seem to apply — While the change is being sent, only the tag you touched is temporarily disabled. If it fails, it reverts to its original state. Tap it again
• You registered a “Nearest station” but distances aren’t shown — Showing distances requires registered coordinates. Enter them manually from “Change station name”, or have them registered automatically via the MCP integration
• It says “You need to log in” — Recommendation settings require logging in. Log in from the button and you’ll return to the settings page
