Taste - Collaborative Filtering Engine for Java

benjamin — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 08:00:00 -0400

Taste is a flexible, fast collaborative filtering engine for Java. The engine takes users' preferences for items ("tastes") and returns estimated preferences for other items. For example, a site that sells books or CDs could easily use Taste to figure out, from past purchase data, which CDs a customer might be interested in listening to. Taste provides a rich set of components from which you can construct a customized recommender system from a selection of algorithms.
