Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for combining media recommendations from multiple recommendation engines. In some embodiments, a recommendation system receives a first indication that a first media recommendation was generated by a first content provider, the first media recommendation being associated with a first media asset. The recommendation system receives a second indication that a second media recommendation was generated by a second content provider, and then determines whether the second media recommendation is associated with the first media asset. In response to determining that the second media recommendation is associated with the first media asset, the recommendation system generates a combined recommendation representing the first and second media recommendations.
