Re: DM: Performance of collaborative filtering algorithms

Larry, please check-out Hal Varian's site on collaborative filtering.

      http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/resources/collab/

It's by far the best resource I know (it may be slightly outdated
by now.) Also there was a SIGIR workshop on this. You can
find additional information in URL:

      http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~ian/sigir99-rec/summary.html

There was also a workshop in AAAI some year's ago.
You can find that in AAAI's vook store. There is also a mailing list
on collaboartive filtering. You can also follow the threads
through Hal's site.

Subject:  DM: Performance of collaborative filtering algorithms


Hi

Are there any papers in the research literature that document the
performance of collaborative filtering algorithms compared to other
algorithmic approaches (eg SVM approaches)? I am familiar with Breese,
Heckerman, and Cadie's paper "Empirical analysis of predictive algorithms
for collaborative filtering." In particular, anecdotal evidence suggests
that collaborative filtering algorithms do not scale. Are there any studies
that show this to be the case?

Thanks
