Abstract

Recommending one or more items among a plurality of items to a first user by generating a weighted data set by applying a weight factor to each of a plurality of user event data sets each derived from a previous user event of a second user of the recommendation system. Each of the user event data sets includes a user identifier of the second user, an item identifier of an item involved in the previous user event, and time information regarding a time of the previous user event. The weight factor is derived from the time information of the corresponding previous user event. One or more recommended items are determined based on an algorithm using the weighted data set.
