SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FILTERING TECHNIQUES USING METADATA AND USAGE DATA ANALYSIS

Systems and methods for maintaining a model representing similarity between media assets are provided. Control circuitry receives a first vector of values for a first media asset, and a second vector of values for a second media asset. The control circuitry determines whether a user has viewed both the first and second media assets. In response to determining that the user has viewed both assets, the control circuitry determines a modeled similarity value representing modeled similarity between the first and second media assets. The control circuitry retrieves an observed similarity value representing observed similarity between the first and second media assets based on metadata and usage data for the assets and determines a modeling error value based on the modeled similarity value and the observed similarity value. The control circuitry updates the first vector of values and the second vector of values based on the modeling error value.
