Robin Burke Research FindMe

FindMe systems originated in work I did with Kristian Hammond when we were both at the Computer Science Department of the University of Chicago. These systems use case-based reasoning as a way of recommending products in e-commerce catalogs and provide critique-based navigation as a primary user interface. One interesting outcome of this work has been to emphasize the complexity of the common-sense notion of similarity demanded by a user of such catalogs as compared to the metrics used by many CBR systems.
