MusicStrands Uses Artificial Intelligence For Music Recommendations

MusicStrands is a recommendation system which recommends user music based on artificial inteligence.Users of the MusicStrands website have access to a directory of 3.7 million songs. They can search the collection and receive music recommendations according to their own tastes in music.The artificial intelligence techniques used for the recommender systems are based on statistical learning, Bayesian estimation, probabilistic reasoning and visualisation techniques. Five patents have already been awarded thanks to the innovations, and it is hoped that another forty will also be granted over the next five years. For more details goto

Good Ratings Gone Bad: Study Shows Recommender Systems Can Manipulate Users' Opinions

This is a news article published in "Science Daily" on 8 april 2003. It says that according to a study conducted by University of Minnesota researchers a system which lies about user ratings can manipulate user's opnions. They conducted three different experiments where they tried different ratings and predictions for movies and examined how other users opnion changes according to this changes.

it is a special feature that recommends based on the kind of you interact with the system. If you just watch the products it recommends the similer items. If you add it to wishlist it will show items which are in series it terms of use.

User XQuery Pattern Method based Personalization Recommender Service

This paper presents a semantic web recommender system for personalization service using a user xquery method. The user XQuery provides an important recommendation service that assists ecommerce and m-commerce by creating personalized document retrieval and recommender systems. In order to provide these services effectively, the user XQuery
should be a "user orientated query pattern". This is achieved through the utilization of a XML based e-commerce and mcommerce using the Semantic Web, including XML Query patterns, mining XQuery streams, personalization, user profiling and other XML based technologies.

IMPl. OF KNOWLEDGE-BASED RECO. SYS using JESS

This is a resource which initially describes the difference between collaborative filtering and knowledge based recommender system. The it explains how java expert shell system implement this notion using knowledge base of the product domain, inference engine and user interface module.

Asynchronous Recommendation System

Current recommender systems have matches the taste of the users or items with other item and make decision about recommandation. But there are certain problems regarding commitee of users, seperability of assumptions and syncrony. Asynchronous recommendation system solves these problems. Visit ACM library for full details.

Utility-Based Neighbourhood Formation

This paper proposes novel neighbourhood formationand similarity weight transformation schemes for automatedcollaborative filtering systems. it demonstrate the benefitsof new schemes from the point-of-view of the efficiency androbustness provided, while achieving the accuracy and coverageof a benchmark k–Nearest Neighbour (k–NN) model.
