Abstract
Multiple channels of audio/video (A/V) content in a system are available to users. A channel scoring system uses a user's channel watching behavior and channel browsing behavior to generate a channel preference score for various different channels in the system. The channel watching behavior refers to which channels the user watches. The channel browsing behavior refers to features describing the user's behavior when watching A/V content provided by a channel. Examples of these features include the hour of the day when the user watches the A/V content, the number and length of A/V content provided by the channel watched in a session, device preferences of the user, and so forth. Various actions can be taken based on the generated channel preference scores, such as recommending or otherwise promoting channels to the user.
