Abstract: Method and a recommendation system (200) for making a media item recommendation to a user. A weighted graph is created (2:2) that comprises item nodes representing media items and edges linking the item nodes. Weights are also assigned to the edges based on weights of contributors shared by the linked item nodes. When an initial media item of interest to the user is identified (2:4), the recommendation system determines (2:5) a set of media items which are linked to the initial media item in a weighted graph. At least one of the determined set of media items is also selected based on the assigned weight of edges linking the media items to the initial media item. The recommendation system then provides (2:6) the media item recommendation with the at least one selected media item to the user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a group manager of a central service node, for enabling services or media in a communication network. A monitoring unit detects and monitors activities and conditions of communication entities in the network. A context collecting unit collects individual context data relating to a plurality of monitored entities in order to survey the current situation of each respective entity. A group defining unit then defines a group of correlated entities that are found to be correlated or similar with respect to at least some feature or characteristics based on the collected individual context data, by selecting context parameters of relevance to the group and using one or more membership conditions determined for the group. If the monitored entities have changed their status in a predetermined way that affects the group, the group defining unit will update the group.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining a correlation between a reference user and another user on the basis of two sets of ratings, where each rating is associated with a respective user. In response to a trigger, user ratings associated with the reference user and user ratings associated with the other user are collected, and all co-rated items of these two sets are correlated in the basis of an adjusted cosine correlation function which is weighted by a first and a second weighting function. The correlation is then stored and may be repeated for a plurality of users. The stored correlations may be used e.g. for ranking purposes.

Abstract: A method for operating a system to provide temporal context for recommending items for consumption by a user device is described. The method comprises maintaining a record of items consumed by the user device or a group of devices within a reference period, together with the time of consumption of each item, and a content descriptor associated with each item. Temporal consumption periods are identified within the reference period, each consumption period spanning the consumption of one or more items with similar content descriptors, and each consumption period is associated with its respective content descriptor. An aggregated list is created of consumption periods recorded over a plurality of reference periods. Clusters of similar consumption periods are identified in the aggregated list, and recurring temporal patterns for user device behaviour are identified in each cluster.

Abstract: In the embodiments of the present invention, a network node in an operator network is introduced. The network node is an analysis component configured to analyze the subscriber behavior based on the internet traffic data within the network. The network node is configured to provide a dynamic profile of the subscribers based on the current and past internet traffic. The dynamic profile may be used by other applications in the operator network or third parties. For example, a content provider can take a decision on what content to provide to a certain subscriber, based on dynamic subscriber profile information of this certain subscriber received from the network node according to the embodiments of the present invention. Another example is that an operator can use the dynamic subscriber profile when selecting commercial offers to his own subscribers e.g. when a subscriber has a new music mobile when visiting music sites.

Abstract: A method of estimating a default rating of a rated dataset is provided, where the dataset comprises at least one series of ratings associated with at least one user and each series comprise ratings associated with at least two items. For a reference user and an item for which a rated value is missing the item's average rating, ir, the reference users average rating, Ru, and the datasets average rating, dr, is collected. A Poisson distribution of the reference users rating is then generated on the basis of the reference users average rating. A random Poisson rating, ur, is calculated on the basis of the Poisson distribution, and a default rating, r, is estimated by weighting the random Poisson rating on the basis of the items average rating, the users average rating and the datasets average rating.

Abstract: A recommendation apparatus for determining, for a user, a set of one or more recommended paths through an information space in response to receiving from the user a path request message. Advantageously, in some embodiments, the path recommender apparatus determines a recommended path by analyzing a set of paths, where each path in the set was traversed by a person who is in a “social graph” belonging to the user (e.g., each path in the set was traversed by one of the user's Facebook friends). In this way, paths can be recommended to the user based on paths that are popular with the user's friends.
