IUI2009:Learning To Recognize Value Tags

SUMMARY:
     This paper discusses automatic tagging systems.

Wikipedia : In online computer systems terminology, a tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file)

The authors looked at 21 different tagging algorithms and chose the best three to deploy on a movie website.  The rest of the paper talks about the different methods.

DISCUSSION:
     This is a very useful paper for someone looking to learn some tagging methods for their application/website.  Future work involves testing their methods on more than just a  movie application.
