In one embodiment, a method generates a plurality of sub-relevance tables including a first set of relevance values between media programs. Each table models relevance values for a single feature in a plurality of features. Labeling results are received that include a second set of relevance values between the media programs. The method combines the sub-relevance tables into a single relevance table that includes a third set of relevance values between the media programs for the plurality of features. The combining generates weights for each of the sub-relevance tables based on the second set of relevance values for the labeling results and the first set of relevance values of the sub-relevance tables that are used to generate the third set of relevance values. A recommendation is provided to a user using the third set of relevance values from the single relevance table and a characteristic of the user.

Particular embodiments provide a watch list of shows to users. The watch list is personalized for each user. Also, the watch list is dynamically organized to predict an order the user will want to watch the shows. Particular embodiments analyze historical user behavior with respect to the timing for recurring releases of the episodes for shows to determine the order of the shows in the watch list. The watch list is organized in a way that a user may select a 'watch all' button where unseen episodes for the shows in the watch list are all played to the user in an order that is predicted to be the order in which the user would want to watch the shows. Providing the watch all button makes it important to predict the order of the shows accurately.
