Abstract

Today, Amazon recommends books to you based on the books you've previously bought or searched for—soon, it could know exactly what paragraphs you've read. But will this help it make better recommendations? Is this customer service or an invasion of privacy? The author takes a look at recommender systems and if they truly deliver on what they promise or portend a much more error-prone method of tracking people.
