The second workshop on large scale recommender systems will be at SIGKDD in Las Vegas this year.  One of the main topics is the Netflix competition and Jim Bennett of Netflix is one of the co-chairs, so there should be some interesting stuff in that area.  Plus all the other cool stuff going on with recommender systems (yes, there is other work being done on them!).  Another of the co-chairs is Daniel Lemire, whose blog never disappoints.

The paper deadline for the workshop is May 30th.

I have no idea why, but four A-10 Warthogs made several circuits around the skies of Pittsburgh today. They are quite noisy, subsonic jets used by the military against armored vehicles and ground positions. The last time I had seen one outside of an air show or museum was when I was kid camping in Sumter National Forest in South Carolina. A couple A-10’s from a local air base were doing some target practice. Their tank-busting guns sound like a giant dumpster slamming from far off. At first, we had no idea what the sound was coming from, so we joked it was the lizard man.
