Abstract
Techniques are shown for predicting the number of times a media selection will be consumed by one or more users at a target time. Examples of user behavior during the consumption of a media selection are chosen as input features. A partitioner separates a set of media selections into a training subset and an evaluation subset. The input features are transformed into feature vectors, and a learned function is derived to define a relationship between the feature vector for the training subset and the number of times a media selection from the training subset is consumed. The learned function is then applied to a feature vector for the evaluation subset to test its accuracy.
