Abstract

With internet delivery of video content surging to an un-precedented level, video recommendation has become an important approach for helping people access interesting videos. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to integrate viewing history for personalized video recommendation. For a given user, our approach calculates a recommendation score for each video candidate, that composes of two parts: the interest degree of this video by the user's friends, and the taste similarities between the user and his friends. We measure the interest degree of each video by considering its textual, visual and popularity information. Meanwhile, we construct tag set for each user based on his/her viewing history to estimate the taste similarities between different users. The final recommended videos are ranked according to the accumulated recommendation scores from different recommenders. We conduct experiments with 45 users and more than 11, 000 videos, and the results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our approach.
