Abstract
An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text. Based on how frequently a first media content item co-occurs with a first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item, the electronic device generates, without user input, a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item. The electronic device presents the new collection of media content items to the first user as a recommendation.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at a first electronic device associated with a media-providing service, the first electronic device having one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors:
- obtaining a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text;
- determining a coincidence metric for a first descriptor and a first media content item, the coincidence metric representing how frequently the first media content item co-occurs with the first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item;
- and
- based on the coincidence metric, generating a new collection of media content items for a first user, wherein the new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item.
A first electronic device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the instructions including instructions for:
- obtaining a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text;
- determining a coincidence metric for a first descriptor and a first media content item, the coincidence metric representing how frequently the first media content item co-occurs with the first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item;
- and
- based on the coincidence metric, generating a new collection of media content items for a first user, wherein the new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
- obtain a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text;
- determine a coincidence metric for a first descriptor and a first media content item, the coincidence metric representing how frequently the first media content item co-occurs with the first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item;
- and
- based on the coincidence metric, generate a new collection of media content items for a first user, wherein the new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item.
