Tomorrow, I conduct the usability study that will let me finish up the FilmTrust chapter.

Chapter 6: Continuous algorithms

I ran eigentrust today on my data. I'm not sure how to deal with the output since it really doesn't give actual trust value. Instead, you just get a vector that allows you to make relative comparisons among nodes. I tried to do a rank correlation, and it's coming up low, but I'm not really sure how to incorporate that.

Cai also sent me his code, which is based on a spreading activation model. It runs beautifully on the network and I just need to hear back from him on how to get the output.
