Filmtrust: movie recommendations from semantic web-based social networks

Abstract

FilmTrust is a website that integrates social networks with movie ratings and reviews. Using FOAF-based social networks augmented with trust ratings, the site computes predictive movie ratings based on the ratings of trusted people in the network. Preliminary results show these results to be significantly more accurate than other predictive ratings in certain situations. This demo will show the FilmTrust website, demonstrate cases where the predictive movie ratings are successful, and illustrate its RDF and OWL output for those interested in the backend.
