I would also like to suggest adding a 'report article' feature, in case there are mistakes or misinformation in the articles that are being shared.

Collaborative filtering and NLP are solid choices. Have you looked into using deep learning for this type of task?

I think deep learning would be perfect for this type of project. I've seen some really impressive results with using LSTMs for similar tasks.

Adding a 'report article' feature is a great idea. I'll definitely add it to the list of features to implement.
