The human society is a very complex system; still, there are several non-trivial, general features. One type of them is the presence of power-law–distributed quantities in temporal statistics. In this letter, we focus on the origin of power laws in rating of movies. We present a systematic empirical exploration of the time between two consecutive ratings of movies (the interevent time). At an...

Information overload in the modern society calls for highly efficient recommendation algorithms. In this letter we present a novel diffusion-based recommendation model, with users' ratings built into a transition matrix. To speed up computation we introduce a Green function method. The numerical tests on a benchmark database show that our prediction is superior to the standard recommendation...
