Abstract
Techniques for incorporating social-network connections information into estimated user-ratings of videos for video recommendations are described. A user-rating that a user is likely to assign to a video is predicted based on first and second predictions. The first prediction is based on ratings assigned to the video by a first set of users who have rated other videos with ratings substantially similar to the user's ratings of the other videos. The second prediction is based on ratings assigned to the video by a second set of users who have established social-network connections with the user and who have rated at least one same video that the user has previously rated. Additionally, the estimated user-rating is added to additional estimated user-ratings of other videos for comparison, and top-rated videos are identified. Then, a notification is communicated via a client device of the user to recommend the top-rated videos to the user.
