This Summer 2009 I am going to be doing a research internship at the School of Computer Science of the Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland (Eire). As I have been working in the latest months in developing tag-based aproaches for Recommender Systems, I am going to be working here on the application of Spreading Activation methods under the supervision of IBM researcher Dr. Alex Troussov.
