N2 - Motivation. Recommendation systems are an important ingredient of modern life, where people must make decisions with partial information [6]. Everyday examples include buying books, going to a movie, choosing an on-line store etc. Computer-related examples include, among others, choosing peers in a potentially hostile peer-to-peer environment, or choosing a route in an unreliable network. The basic idea underlying such systems is that users can use the experience reported by others so as to improve their prediction of their own opinions. However, users may differ in their opinions either because they have different tastes, or because their objectives may be different (e.g., in a peer-to-peer network some users may wish to destroy the system). Obviously, only users who share preferences (said to belong to the same type) are can enjoy the advantages of recommendation systems.
