A great recommendation engine should incorporate explicit feedback from users.
For example, Netflix knows what I've watched and how I've rated things. But it doesn't let me tell it things like "I categorically dislike horror movies", so it sometimes recommends those.
It's trying to guess something that I'd rather just tell it.

- biscarch 14y agoWouldn't the problem then be what you consider horror vs what other people consider horror? What if it's labeled as horror and comedy because it's a parody?
