Want to dive in to all this stuff but can't find a starting point? Start with reading my patent!

I was smart enough to see what collaborative filtering (CF) could be early on, and to file a patent that issued. I wasn't smart enough to make it a complicated patent, or to choose the right partners so I could have success with it.

But the patent makes a good way to learn how to get from "what are your desert island 5 favorite music recordings?" over to "here is a list of other music you might like". Basic CF, which is at the core of a lot of this stuff. Enjoy!:
