I’m interested in hearing ideas from movielens users on how we might operationalize these features.

Hi again,
just getting back to the tagging issue: I think that if users find the results helpful then they will contribute to the process that makes those results possible. That reasoning works for the recommendations that come from ratings too. Users who aren't sufficiently interested in finding similar movies won't bother with the tagging.An error occurred while saving the comment anonymous

Hi, Max.
Perhaps it is my paucity of imagination but I was thinking of graphs (the math kind) perhaps with clusters. I think that anything like Shneiderman's star field would be overkill.
As to how to make it happen I think that tags are the best way right now; but it would require some way to combine tags (for example, Paris and setting:Paris). It might not be too much to hope that if users see an advantage in these types of tags then more tags will appear and the approach will be feasible.

The scatterplot with sliders is what I think of as Shneiderman's starplot. But it is the best UI I've thought of so far.
I often look for movies to match my mood for example something like Lubitsch's Heaven Can Wait (1943) but that I haven't seen yet. There are currently tags for that movie that help me find similar movies ("the comfort food of movies", "avuncular grandfather figure", and "autobiographical view"). The correlation view won't work as precisely as something using those tags.
Max, if you want to we could brainstorm a bit by Skype.
