Recommender Systems Course from GroupLens by Danny Bickson.
From the post:
I got the following course link from my colleague Tim Muss. The GroupLens research group (Univ. of Minnesota) have released a coursera course about recommender systems. Michael Konstan and Michael Ekstrand are lecturing. Any reader of my blog which has an elephant memory will recall I wrote about the Lenskit project already 2 years ago where I intreviewed Michael Ekstrand.
Would you agree that recommendation involves subject recognition?
At a minimum recognition of the subject to be recommended and the subject of a particular user’s preference.
I ask because the key to topic map “merging” isn’t ontological correctness but “correctness” in the eyes of a particular user.
What other standard would I use?
