Three Social Distance Measures for Film Rankings.
Leazer, Gregory H.; Furner, Jonathan; Napper, Rachel
Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, v40 p21-27 2003
Describes the use of three alternative methods for ranking films for information retrieval (IR). A large film-person incidence matrix is generated using the principle cast, directors, producers and screenwriters for each film. These attributes are used to measure film-film distances by creating a distance matrix. Distance, product distance, and accumulative difference distance matrices are used to generate rankings for a random sample of films. (AEF)
