Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems for data mining and analysis that may be used for capturing user/entity behavior, providing influence filtering and/or providing recommendations. One particular use may be for providing, among other things, personalized recommendations. The methods and systems may include generating an influence network. The influence network may include a user's adoption behavior of items. The influence network may further include temporal aspects of information flow or diffusion of information through the network. The influence network may also include adoption time(s) of one or more item(s) between users/entities. Further, the influence network may include asymmetric user/entity adoption behavior. Methods and systems of influence filtering are provided that include generating asymmetric relationship(s) between users and providing a filtering module utilizing the asymmetric relationship(s) between user/entity.
