Abstract: An approach is provided for associating interest tags with media items based on social diffusions among users. The media tagging platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more user profiles to determine one or more interest tags relating to one or more users, captured at one or more user devices to determine one or more frequencies of the one or more signals. Next, the media tagging platform determines one or more social diffusions of the one or more media items among the one or more users. Then, the media tagging platform causes, at least in part, an association of the one or more media items with the one or more interest tags based, at least in part, on the one or more social diffusions.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining the context-aware similarity between applications. A similarity platform processes one or more context logs associated with one or more devices to determine one or more context intents. The similarity platform further determines one or more distributions of one or more applications executed at the one or more devices with respect to the one or more context intents. The similarity platform also determines a context-aware similarity between two or more applications based, at least in part, on the one or more application distributions.

Abstract: An approach is provided for template-based discount valuation and ranking. A discount management platform processes or facilitates a processing of a vocabulary for representing one or more parameters of discount information associated with one or more discount types. The discount management platform then processes or facilitates a processing of the one or more discount types to generate one or more templates based, at least in part, on the vocabulary. The one or more templates include, at least in part, one or more labels, one or more input fields, or a combination thereof for calculating and/or facilitating a calculation of one or more discount values associated with the discount information.
