research promotion and paper recommendations
|
|
| Amir Michail 2006-05-09, 4:26 am |
| Hi,
I have been working on a method to tell people something without
spamming everyone. It's sort of like reddit, but the submitter of a
link is responsible for targeting it to people who will probably like
it.
To get things started, I have submitted many links into the system,
including many software engineering papers:
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...y_tags=icse2006
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...y_tags=icse2005
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...query_tags=icse
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...ry_tags=ase2005
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...ags=esecfse2005
To see how a particular paper is targeted, click "targeting". For
example, here is the targeting for the ICSE 2006 hierarchical delta
debugging paper:
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=targeting&urlid=262441
Note how targeting URLs are used to suggest the paper to people. For
example, the paper is targeted to people who liked AskIgor.
People who are targeted can click "more like this" or "fewer like this"
to build their interest profile. This in turn determines your
submission score. Careful targeting is important because your
submission score determines your submission's rank among personalized
recommendations for targeted people.
Now, perhaps you wrote this paper or like the research direction, so
you would like to promote it as well. Moreover, you might believe that
you can do a better job targeting it so more interested people will see
it.
In that case, click on "evolve" to change its targeting, title, and/or
tags. Note that all instances of the link will remain in the system,
so in fact, many people could try to promote this particular paper in
different ways. Click "family" to see all instances of the link.
To receive personalized recommendations, take a look at the links under
"My Targeted Links". If you would like to receive more personalized
recommendations, give your preferences for some of the links under "My
Targeting Links".
In any case, I plan to add many research papers to the system. I hope
that people will evolve my submissions and add papers of their own. I
think this can result in an interesting way to promote research of
interest to you and receive well targeted recommendations.
Here are other papers I submitted:
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_links&query_tags=www
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...y_tags=siggraph
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...uery_tags=ijcai
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_links&query_tags=chi
http://targetyournews.com/?cmd=all_...y_tags=clevercs
The vast majority of these are not targeted at all, so I would
appreciate help in that regard, particularly if some of those papers
are yours.

| Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing
horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin
singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played
by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the
waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.
Man: You sit here, dear.
Wife: All right.
Man: Morning!
Waitress: Morning!
Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and
spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon
sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam
spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam...
Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam
baked beans spam spam spam...
Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!
Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served
in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with
truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much
spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has
it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam
then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg
bacon spam and sausage without the spam.
Wife: I don't like spam!
Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it.
I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam
spam and spam!
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late
and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings: (Singing elaborately...) Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam!
Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely
spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam
spam spam!

Spam is in the eye of the beholder. That's why a recommender system
like the one I built can reduce spam significantly by allowing you to
make announcements -- commercial or otherwise -- to people who will
actually appreciate receiving them.
