Abstract

Recommender systems learn about our preferences to make targeted suggestions. In this paper we outline a novel game-with-a-purpose designed to infer preferences at scale as a side-effect of gameplay. We evaluate the utility of this data in a recommendation context as part of a small live-user trial.
