This article describes UC Berkley's joke recommender and the updates that were just released. Two pieces of software were released into new versions. EigenTaste is now in version 5 and Jester is now version 4. The system now has over 4 million ratings. The article is an elementary look at this collaborative filtering algorithm run system. It does describe the features and some of the jokes. ;) Prof. Ken Goldberg notes that the engine can be applied to anything with large inventories. Donation Dashboard is one other application that he mentions. I seem to remember talking about this earlier in the semester. Is that right?
I have noticed a trend in systems I've read about recently. Taking into account the user's most recent input seems to be popular.
