So I finally graduated. My thesis took around 13 months to complete, but was graded with an 8.5/10, which is high enough to forget about how long it took.
The thesis is available from the TU/e library website. It discusses the study I performed on the similarities between an algorithm called matrix factorization that predicts ratings for movies, based on ratings that users have given in the past, and psychological ways to describe preferences. To make this comparison I deployed an online study to investigate how people perceive similarities in movies.

Oldschool style brackets with the wacom and we had some good matches.

The finals were rvg versus mky on acidwdm2 and wdm14. And it were good fights. rvg took home the gold in this entertaining ad hoc quickcup. Thanks all for playing and until next time :)

Took my 35mm as walkaround lens and shot away. I did learn how to level my horizons, which is nice. I do still need to learn how not to abuse my f1.8 and to limit ISO to 800, because 1600 is kind of … meh…
