Bill Southerly Department of Psychology Frostburg State University Frostburg, MD 21532 301-687-4778 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Frantz, Sue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 11/28/2008 7:30 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Netflix Prize Hi all, Netflix is offering a million dollars to the person or persons who can improve their prediction system by 10% so they can better recommend movies that customers will like. This is really a psychology problem, not a computer problem. Anyone want to take crack at it? I nominate Stephen Black to put together the team that will represent TIPS. Although, the article does say that a 'trained psychologist' is one of the top ten competitors. Someone on this list? Fess up. Link to NY Times article below. Or go directly to the Netflix Prize site: http://www.netflixprize.com/ If the winner comes to a member of TIPS, I'd like a small 2% finders fee.
