I’m currently entranced by Sylvie Guillem in Bejart’s (?) Bolero. It reaches Alizee-like levels of mesmerization. I wish I was able to see her in her classical prime.
Netflix Prize
Looks like a bunch of the top-running groups (“BellKor’s Pragmatic Chaos”) collaborated together and finally reached the 10% mark. Considering how badly I’m doing on the UCSD competition, I’m glad I won’t be spending the summer trying to work on the Netflix challenge.
Congrats to them! I’m pretty sure the Netflix prize has aided the development of many methods in data mining.
