The web pages are on four separate subjects (Bands- recording artists; Goats; Sheep; and BioMedical)\N\NThe HTML source of a web page is given. Users looked at each web page and indicated on a 3 point scale (hot medium cold) 50-100 pages per domain. However, this is realistic because we want to learn user profiles from as few examples as possible so that users have an incentive to rate pages.\N\NThe problem is to predict user ratings for web pages (within a subject category). The accuracy of predicting ratings is reported in early publications. Later publications used the precision at top N or the F-measure.\N\N**Past Usage** \NPazzani M., Billsus, D. (1997).
