[Vorbb-tech-devs] Paper opportunity

[Brian C. B. <bri...@gm...>]

Hey guys,

I was surfing the forums at Netflix and saw that they were advertising a
data mining conference that has a section dedicated to the Netflix prize. I
think we should think about writing a paper for it at the end of the
project. Published papers always look good on the ole resume.

http://www.cs.uic.edu/~liub/Netflix-KDD-Cup-2007.html : Participants of the
Netflix Prize competition are encouraged to submit papers describing your
algorithms and experiences, successful or not, regardless whether you are
currently on the leaderboard. Even if you are not at the top of the
leaderboard, we are sure that many of you have great algorithms and other
interesting and important observations to share in the interests of science.

Papers aren't due until June 1st, so we have time after school to write it.
We can maybe even pull some material from the stuff we write for the class.

Sincerely,
Brian C. Becker @ www.BrianCBecker.com
