I want to know (if someone can assist) how do media services like Netflix, Pandora craft and profile music/movies based on people's taste.
I've tried to find info on this topic, however I'm looking for something highly technical and some code implementation of how this works (generically).
My thought is when you "thumbs up" a song on Pandora, you are "averaged" against other's who also thumb up the same song. Then you are thrown in a "song pool" of people who also like that song as well as others, therefore you hear other songs they also thumb up....
As you thumb up more and more songs people are removed from your song pool. While your song pool gets more specialized.
Not sure if this is how it works, just my wild ass guess.
