Taste – Collaborative Filtering for Java

Here’s yet another Collaborative Filtering library: Taste. This one is written in Java and supports Enterprise Java Beans.

Taste is a flexible, fast collaborative filtering engine for Java. The engine takes users’ preferences for items (“tastes”) and returns estimated preferences for other items. For example, a site that sells books or CDs could easily use Taste to figure out, from past purchase data, which CDs a customer might be interested in listening to.
