Methods and systems for online recommendation

A system for recommending videos, comprising:

• a workstation operationally coupled to a network and configured to display videos and video recommendations to an end user;
• and
• a processing subsystem operationally coupled to the network and configured to:
• access data of video sessions for a plurality of videos to determine a first attribute;
• access meta-data of the plurality of videos to determine a temporal attribute based on release dates stored in the meta-data, and to determine a similarity attribute corresponding to a pair of videos in the plurality of videos based on the meta-data;
• generate temporal video session data based on the first attribute and the temporal attribute;
• compute a global video rank corresponding to each of the plurality of videos based on a cross-temporal attribute derived from the temporal video session data;
• generate a local video rank based on the cross-temporal attribute, the global video rank, and the similarity attribute;
• and
• generate the video recommendations based on the local video rank and the similarity attribute.

A computer implemented method for recommending videos, comprising:

• generating, via a processing subsystem, a first attribute representative of traffic links between a plurality of videos;
• generating, via the processing subsystem, a temporal attribute representative of release dates of the plurality of videos;
• generating, via the processing subsystem, temporal video session data based on the first attribute and the temporal attribute;
• computing a global video rank corresponding to each of the plurality of videos based on a cross-temporal attribute derived from the temporal video session data;
• generating, via the processing subsystem, a similarity attribute representative of similar keywords between a pair of videos in the plurality of videos;
• generating the local video rank based on the cross-temporal attribute, the global video rank, and the similarity attribute;
• and
• recommending, via the processing subsystem, a video to a user device based on the local video rank and the similarity attribute.
