Fastweb VOD

Personalized content recommendations increase content playback and TVOD sales.

In this white paper, we describe the integration of a content recommendation system into the production environment of Fastweb, one of the largest European IP Television (IPTV) providers.

The recommender system implements both collaborative and content-based techniques, tailored to the specific requirements of an IPTV architecture, such as the limited screen definition, the reduced navigation capabilities, and strict time constraints.
