That was the main title of a series of talks I gave in different labs and companies during my recent California tour. In this presentation, I talked about many of our recent projects related to how to interpret user feedback, in general, and in the particular case of recommender systems. I talked about our work on measuring user rating noise, our follow-up in devising algorithms to reduce this natural noise, and on how you can use experts instead of crowds to not only minimize this noise but address other issues in collaborative filtering.
