Events discovery for personal video recorders

Abstract

Recommendation Systems can be one of the killer applications for a new generation of PVRs. Unfortunately, these systems do not apply directly to this domain because of the unreliability of EPGs and registrations set on temporal basis instead of discrete objects. We propose a method for discretizing temporal and volatile events and the preliminary version of a recommender system that can be executed on such data.
