An EPG contents collection and recommendation system includes an EPG database of identifications of available programs. A program information acquisition module applies text classification to detailed descriptions of the available programs. An EPG recommendation module recommends an available program to a user based on the text classification. Preferably, EPG contents are collected from publicly available TV websites and parsed into a uniform format. For example, contents are vectorized, and a Maximum Entropy technique is applied. Also, user interaction with the EPG database is used to form a user profile database. Further, classifiers are trained based on contents of the user profile database, and these classifiers are used to recommend EPG contents to the user.
