Abstract        : A recommendation system tracks past purchases of a
                  group of users to make product recommendations to
                  individual members of the group. Such systems are

                  important in practice, i.e. amazon.com, but also
                  have theoretical appeal. I will review some recent
                  theoretical results in this area and also give more

                  details about the connection between building
                  competitive recommendation systems and the problem
                  of matrix reconstruction.
