The Melvyl Recommender Project: Early Results and Open Questions

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2006 Project Briefings / The Melvyl Recommender Project: Early Results and Open Questions

April 2, 2006

Director of Technology

Since June of 2005, the Melvyl Recommender project has been exploring methods and feasibility of closing the gap between features that users want and have come to expect (recommendations, spelling correction, usefully ranked results) and what libraries are currently equipped to deliver. The research team has developed a prototype incorporating several of the most promising methods, with the overarching goal of informing development of next-generation online public access services. In this project briefing we will demonstrate key features of the prototype, highlight methods and early results, and pose open questions for future exploration.
