== Minutes ==
Scott reported on his movie-recommender:

 * Was only allowed to use 1-grams, so things like "James and the Giant Peach" associated with "James Bond".
 * Older movies had more dates, and longer descriptions overall.  Movies from this year usually had only the marketing tagline.
 * Had tried to use genres as a kind of weight boost, but it was totally unnecessary---genres could be nearly perfectly derived from descriptions.

== Next Time ==
 * NEXT_MEETING_DATE
 * Be ready to discuss Chapter XXX of AnIntroductionToStatisticalLearning
