Indicator Based Recommenders – The One We Missed

Summary: In our recent article on "5 Types of Recommenders" we failed to mention Indicator-Based Recommenders. These have some unique features and ease of implementation that may be important in your selection of a recommender strategy. A few weeks ago in the midst of our series on recommenders we published an article "5 Types of Recommenders" in which we offered our view on the primary types of recommendation engines. We got a very nice comment from Ted Dunning suggesting that we'd missed an important one, Indicator-Based Recommenders. If you ever get a note from Ted Dunning you should pay attention.
