    摘要: A subscriber identification system (100) is presented in which subscriber selection data (250) including channel changes (134), volume changes (132), and time-of-day viewing information is used to identify a subscriber (user) (130) from a group of subscribers (130). In one instance, the subscriber selection data (250) is recorded and a signal processing algorithm such as a fourier transform is used to produce a processed version of the subscriber selection data. The processed version of the subscriber selection data (250) can be correlated with stored common identifiers of subscriber profiles to determine which subscriber (130) from the group is presently viewing the programming. A neural network or fuzzy logic can be used as the mechanism for identifying the subscriber (130) from clusters of information which are associated with individual subscribers.

    摘要: A system having an adaptive browse feature and an adaptive flip feature is provided. The adaptive browse and flip features may be selected to receive program viewing suggestions. The system may provide a suggestion by displaying an adaptive browse region or adaptative flip region including a program suggestion. The system identifies programs to suggest based on a user's viewing activity. The system uses different algorithms that are user-selectable and user-adjustable to identify program suggestions. The system may query a program guide database to build a list of programs having attributes similar to the attributes of the current program or the last viewed program. The system may use an adaptive learning algorithm such as a neural network. The neural network maybe trained by the program guide by monitoring user-viewing activity. Each algorithm may be personalized for multiple users.

    摘要: A method for facilitating the generation of recommendations of audiovisual content for a first user. The method comprises receiving data from a plurality of second users, the received data indicating audiovisual content of interest to the second users. The method further comprises processing the received data to automatically identify a plurality of relationships between interests of one or more of the second users in respective items of audiovisual content in the audiovisual content represented by the received data and generate a recommendation engine. The recommendation engine is adapted to take as input indications of audiovisual content of interest to the first user and to generate recommendations of further audiovisual content of interest to the first user based upon a subset of the plurality of relationships.

    摘要: A computer implemented data processing system for adaptively blending a plurality of content recommendation engines. The system comprising: a computer implemented blending module; a plurality of computer implemented recommendation engines in operative association with the blending module; a user terminal in communication with the blending module, wherein the plurality of recommendation engines are in operative association with a content repository; and wherein the user terminal is operable to detect a particular user profile of a particular user associated therewith and deliver the particular user profile to the blending module; and wherein each recommendation engine is associated with specific predefined recommendation rules and operable to select particular content from the content repository in accordance with a particular user profile and predefined recommendation rules; and wherein the blending module is operable to adaptively assign weights to the plurality of recommendation engines for each particular user, responsive to the particular user profile thereof.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for recommending items of interest (205, 210, 220) by fusing a plurality of recommendation scores from individual recommendation tools (125) using one or more Radial Basis Function neural networks (400). The Radial Basis Function neural networks include N inputs and at least one output, interconnected by a plurality of hidden units in a hidden layer. A unique neural network can be used for each user, or a neural network can be shared by a plurality of users, such as a set of users having similar characteristics. A neural network training process (500) initially trains each Radial Basis Function neural network using data from a training data set (300). A neural network cross-validation process (600) selects the Radial Basis Function neural network that performs best on the cross-validation data set. A neural network program recommendation process (700) uses the selected neural network(s) to recommend items of interest to a user.
