SmallWorlds

Description :

SmallWorlds is a visual interactive interface that allows users to specify, refine, and build item-preference profiles. The interface facilitates expressions of taste through simple graph interactions and these preferences are used to compute personalized, fully transparent item recommendations for a target user. Predictions are based on a collaborative analysis of preference data from a user’s direct friend group on a social network.
