Social Information Filtering: Algorithms for Automating "Word of Mouth"

by Upendra Shardanand, Pattie Maes , 1995
"... This paper describes a technique for making personalized recommendations from any type of database to a user based on similarities between the interest profile of that user and those of other users. In particular, we discuss the implementation of a networked system called Ringo, which makes personal ..."

personalized recommendations for music albums and artists. Ringo's database of users and artists grows dynamically as more people use the system and enter more information. Four different algorithms for making recommendations by using social information filtering were tested and compared. We present

A taxonomy and evaluation of dense two-frame stereo correspondence algorithms.

by Daniel Scharstein , Richard Szeliski - In IEEE Workshop on Stereo and Multi-Baseline Vision, , 2001
"... Abstract Stereo matching is one of the most active research areas in computer vision. While a large number of algorithms for stereo correspondence have been developed, relatively little work has been done on characterizing their performance. In this paper, we present a taxonomy of dense, two-frame ..."

The Small-World Phenomenon: An Algorithmic Perspective

by Jon Kleinberg - in Proceedings of the 32nd ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing , 2000
"... Long a matter of folklore, the “small-world phenomenon ” — the principle that we are all linked by short chains of acquaintances — was inaugurated as an area of experimental study in the social sciences through the pioneering work of Stanley Milgram in the 1960’s. This work was among the first to m ..."

Pregel: A system for large-scale graph processing

by Grzegorz Malewicz, Matthew H. Austern, Aart J. C. Bik, James C. Dehnert, Ilan Horn, Naty Leiser, Grzegorz Czajkowski - IN SIGMOD , 2010
"... Many practical computing problems concern large graphs. Standard examples include the Web graph and various social networks. The scale of these graphs—in some cases billions of vertices, trillions of edges—poses challenges to their efficient processing. In this paper we present a computational model ..."

Making the future safe for the past: Adding Genericity to the Java Programming Language

by Gilad Bracha , Martin Odersky, David Stoutamire, Philip Wadler , 1998
"... We present GJ, a design that extends the Java programming language with generic types and methods. These are both explained and implemented by translation into the unextended language. The translation closely mimics the way generics are emulated by programmers: it erases all type parameters, maps ty ..."

Studying Cooperation and Conflict between Authors with History Flow Visualizations

by Fernanda B. Viégas, Martin Wattenberg, Kushal Dave , 2004

ConceptNet: A Practical Commonsense Reasoning Toolkit

by Hugo Liu, Push Singh - BT TECHNOLOGY JOURNAL , 2004
