levenshtein distance for predictions? haha. I'd be really curious to know which teams in particular use movie metadata? Yehuda Koren (the first commenter in the blog post) has explicitly stated many times that in his humble opinion movie titles and any non-explicit info has been useless. BellKor, BigChaos, Gravity, and Gavin Potter (just a guy in a garage) are going to be presenting at Yehuda's KDD workshop next week. I'm sure other teams will also be represented. I'll ask them if they use movie metadata, and I'm pretty sure the answer will be no.
