Contextualization and Personalization Group Study

The product of this mini-project will be a wiki page that compares and contrasts search-related systems that make use of context and/or personalization.

The wiki page is at http://cs.usfca.edu/wiki/index.php/A_Comparison_of_Search_Engines_that_use_Contextualization_and_Personalization

There are a number of systems listed there. These are meant as a starting point, and not as an exhaustive list. Your task is to:

1. Download or try at least two systems.
2. Find and read at least two articles about such systems.
3. Add commentary within the wiki page on the systems. Note that our goal is to compare and contrast the various systems, so in characterizing the features of a system relate it to others on the list. Note also that you should focus on the key contributions of each system, and not on unimportant facts such as "it is hard to download", etc.

As with our usual readings, please cut and paste your contributions into a separate document and submit to me.
