{"product_id":"9781933988313","title":"Collective Intelligence in Action","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere's a great deal of wisdom in a crowd, but how do you listen to a thousand people talking at once? Identifying the wants, needs, and knowledge of internet users can be like listening to a mob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Web 2.0 era, leveraging the collective power of user contributions, interactions, and feedback is the key to market dominance. A new category of powerful programming techniques lets you discover the patterns, inter-relationships, and individual profiles-the collective intelligence—locked in the data people leave behind as they surf websites, post blogs, and interact with other users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eCollective Intelligence in Action\u003c\/i\u003e is a hands-on guidebook for implementing collective intelligence concepts using Java. It is the first Java-based book to emphasize the underlying algorithms and technical implementation of vital data gathering and mining techniques like analyzing trends, discovering relationships, and making predictions. It provides a pragmatic approach to personalization by combining content-based analysis with collaborative approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for Java developers implementing Collective Intelligence in real, high-use applications. Following a running example in which you harvest and use information from blogs, you learn to develop software that you can embed in your own applications. The code examples are immediately reusable and give the Java developer a working collective intelligence toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, you work with, a number of APIs and open-source toolkits including text analysis and search using Lucene, web-crawling using Nutch, and applying machine learning algorithms using WEKA and the Java Data Mining (JDM) standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manning Publications Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048459813104,"sku":"9781933988313","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933988313_p0.jpg?v=1763640824","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933988313","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
