Title:

Recommender systems for science: problems and prospects

 

Abstract:

Today's abundance of information and diversity of products, in a variety of domains, is making recommendation systems increasingly important in helping users and consumers find the items they are interested in. Such recommendation systems are often based on the idea of collaborative filtering, utilizing the correlations among ratings explicitly or implicitly provided by users, and systems of this kind are already in widespread use in recommending books, movies, songs, web pages, etc. However, this technology has yet to be successfully applied to the scientific research literature. I'll describe some of the problems involved, and discuss the prospects for collaborative filtering in helping scientists find high-quality articles on their topics of interest.

 

Welcome!
