ABSTRACT
We discuss the video recommendation system in use at YouTube, the world's most popular online video community. The system recommends personalized sets of videos to users based on their activity on the site. We discuss some of the unique challenges that the system faces and how we address them. In addition, we provide details on the experimentation and evaluation framework used to test and tune new algorithms. We also present some of the findings from these experiments.

A framework for diversifying recommendation lists by user interest expansion
Recommender systems have been widely used to discover users' preferences and recommend interesting items to users during this age of information overload. Researchers in the field of recommender systems have realized that the quality of a top-N ...
A Scalable, Accurate Hybrid Recommender System
WKDD '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Third International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data MiningRecommender systems apply machine learning techniques for filtering unseen information and can predict whether a user would like a given resource. There are three main types of recommender systems: collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and ...
New Recommendation Techniques for Multicriteria Rating Systems
Traditional single-rating recommender systems have been successful in a number of personalization applications, but the research area of multicriteria recommender systems has been largely untouched. Taking full advantage of multicriteria ratings in ...
