Social information filtering: algorithms for automating “word of mouth”
Open accessAbstract
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 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 quantitative and qualitative results obtained from the use of Ringo by more than 2000 people.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
