Recommending Content to Digital Magazine Server Users Based on Content Inclusion in Digital Magazines

摘要

A digital magazine server allows its users to create digital magazines by including content items in sections of one or more digital magazines. For various pairs of digital magazines, the digital magazine server determines a score based on a number of content items added to a digital magazine that were previously added to an additional digital magazine in a pair. The score indicates a frequency that the additional digital magazine added content items before the digital magazine. Digital magazines may be ranked for a user based on the scores, with the ranking used to recommend digital magazines or other users to the user. Further, the scores and connections between digital magazines may be used to create an influence score for various digital magazines.
