Making SENSE: Socially ENhanced Search and Exploration

Summary: SENSE combines friend-focused and preference-based (“spiritual”) personalization with semantic tag expansion for social search. Its on-demand threshold algorithm incrementally explores related users/tags, enabling efficient top-k retrieval while examining only a small social-network fraction.
