Finding best people for things #46

Open mgreer opened 8 years ago

I know how to find the closest things for people, but how to do the reverse? How, given say a particular video, can you find the people who would be most likely to want to watch it?

I don't think GER has this functionality. It would be pretty difficult because it would be assumed that in most domains the number of users is greater than the number of things, so the answer to a the question "who might like this thing?" Could be very large.

It would be useful though, if only for emails or bulk communications. So if you want to have a go at it, I will accept a PR with the functionality :)

I'll take a look! Happy to add it if I can figure it out.
