Recently there has been much interest in using relevance judgements from a large number of different users to rate or rank information of general interest [#!resnick97!#]. Some variations of this social recommendation approach use only similarity among relevance judgements by people with similar tastes, ignoring the representation of the information being judged altogether. This has been found highly effective for rating information in which taste plays a major role, such as movie and music recommendations [#!shardanand95!#]. More recent work has combined group relevance judgements with content information [#!basu98!#].
