Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING AUTOMATED COLLABORATIVE FILTERING FOR DECISION-MAKING IN THE PRESENCE OF DATA IMPERFECTIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/009314
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for performing automated collaborative filtering for data that is gathered from the plurality of sources. The data includes contextual information and is stored in a database that includes filled data slots and empty data slots. A prediction module communicates with a client terminal device, receives the data, and generates prediction data based on the contextual information, wherein the prediction data is provided to populate the empty data slots. The invention models a wide class of data imperfections, propagates partial knowledge throughout a decision-making process, incorporates background knowledge into the automated collaborative filtering and provides reliability information for system predictions.
