MRI: Meaningful Interpretations of Collaborative Ratings
Summary: MRI replaces opaque aggregate ratings with concise, data-cube-based factoids explaining which reviewer segments favor an item. It formalizes meaningful description/difference mining as NP-hard and solves them via randomized hill exploration, validated by user studies and experiments.
