Methods and systems for rating celebrities for generating a digital celebrity map tour guide

A non-transitory storage medium for storing program code, the program code executable from the non-transitory storage medium by a hardware processor, the program code when executed by the hardware processor executing a process for generating a decay-converted celebrity rating for use in generating a celebrity tour on a user device, the process comprising steps to:

• retrieve a plurality of celebrity rating categories;
• retrieve a plurality of non-overlapping time periods;
• receive user votes of a celebrity for each of the plurality of celebrity rating categories over each of the plurality of non-overlapping time periods, from one or more user devices over a data network;
• compute a total number of the user votes of the celebrity over all of the plurality of celebrity rating categories for a most recent time period of the plurality of non-overlapping time periods;
• determine whether the total number is above a threshold value;
• in response to determining that the total number is above the threshold value, compute a decay-converted lifetime vote for each of the plurality of celebrity rating categories;
• and
• generate a decay-converted celebrity rating as a celebrity rating category with a largest decay-converted lifetime vote.
