Is your movie and music preference related?
- lmm 13y agoWhen I briefly worked at last.fm I experimented with giving movie recommendations based on music you liked. I didn't have a license to use the movie data on a public project, but it seemed fun and effective when we tried it among ourselves. The article's anecdotal examples notwithstanding, you can do some very good recommendations just with sheer volume of data - much as Google won the search engine wars by ignoring page metadata and just using the text. I'd be interested to see actual evidence as to whether these "deeper" recommendations are actually more effective.
