Any such method is separable: the ordering of two ...

Rating items by rating tags

Different proposals have been made in recent years to exploit Social Web tagging data to improve recommender systems. The tagging data was used for example to identify similar users or viewed as additional information about the recommendable items. In this work we propose to use tags as a means to express which features of an item users particularly like or dislike. Users would therefore not on...

Ranking Reputation and Quality in Online Rating Systems

How to design an accurate and robust ranking algorithm is a fundamental problem with wide applications in many real systems. It is especially significant in online rating systems due to the existence of some spammers. In the literature, many well-performed iterative ranking methods have been proposed. These methods can effectively recognize the unreliable users and reduce their weight in judgin...

Analyzing Ranking and Rating Data from Participatory On- Farm Trials

Participatory methods have been widely adopted by researchers working on applied agricultural problems including crop breeding. This change in paradigm has implications for the design and analysis of methods used. Some of these are summarized in a companion paper by this author (see Coe 1, this proceedings). An assumption of this paper is that formal analysis of quantitative data collected syst...
