  HIGHLIGHT

  Collective Intelligence in Action is a hands-on guide for Java developers implementing

  Collective Intelligence in real, high-use web applications.

  DESCRIPTION

  Collective Intelligence in Action is a hands-on guidebook for Java developers

  implementing collective intelligence concepts. This book teaches vital data gathering

  and mining techniques like analyzing trends, discovering relationships,

  and making predictions using Java-based examples. Readers learn to collect,

  analyze, and benefit from the massive quantities of user information generated

  by Web 2.0 applications.

  Following a running example, readers harvest and use information from blogs,

  tags, and other sources. They then learn to develop software that can embed in

  their own applications. The code examples are immediately reusable and give the

  Java developer a working collective intelligence toolkit.

  Because a smart developer knows there's no reason to reinvent the wheel, the

  book uses public APIs and open-source toolkits including search using Lucene,

  web-crawling using Nutch, machine learning using WEKA, and the Java Data

  Mining (JDM) standard. Readers also learn from case studies that include

  Amazon, Google News, and Netflix
