Abstract

This disclosure describes systems and methods that facilitate generating recommendations by traversing a node graph. For example, recommendations may be generated for a node in the node graph by running a plurality of walks through the node graph and tracking the nodes visited by the walks. For example, a visit count or score may be maintained and/or updated for each node as the walks traverse through the node graph. The walks may be terminated after a defined amount of nodes in the node graph have visit counts or scores that satisfy a criterion. Content corresponding to nodes with the highest visit counts or scores may be recommended.
