Collective Intelligence in Action 53

lamaditx writes "The book Collective Intelligence in Action shows you how to apply theory from Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining to your business. The goal is to create systems which make use of data created by groups of people — i.e. social networks — and abstract from these to gain new or additional information. Some of you might think "just another kind of Web 2.0." This is one application you might think of, but the input and output format do not matter that much. You can use these methods anywhere as long as the amount of data is big enough. You will find some examples related to the latest web technologies to explain methods, but the code is rather generic. Also, you won't find a lot disturbing details about HTML, HTTP and the like." Keep reading for the rest of Adrian's review.

Submission + - Facebook scrambles to contain TOS fallout (thestandard.com)

Ian Lamont writes: "Anger over Facebook's TOS update has forced the company to scramble. Yesterday, a spokesman released a statement that said Facebook has never "claimed ownership of material that users upload," and is trying to be more open to users about how their data is being handled. Mark Zuckerberg has also weighed in, stating "we wouldn't share your information in a way you wouldn't want." Facebook members are skeptical, however — protests have sprung up on blogs, message boards, and a new Facebook group called "People Against the new Terms of Service" that has added more than 10,000 members today."
