(Blogger: Jennifer)
Jennifer rehearsed the paper which she is going to present in ASIS&T conference. Group members gave her some suggestions.
Sherry presented "Resource Recommendation for Social Tagging: A Multi-Channel Hybrid Approach" from RecSys'10 workshop. Although the hybrid solution suggested by the authors didn't really preform well in their three scenarios, we still could learn from them about their design methods and concerns. Multiple information channels are definitely worthy to exploit. While we are trying to engage some social resources into our systems, the nature of the resources, the nature of the users , the type of task that the system is intended to support and so on are required to be identified before implementating.
