Back in August I had a look at using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (http://blog.echen.me/2011/08/22/introduction-to-latent-diric...) for improving how I auto-tag articles. It looked promising but I haven't deployed it yet.

There are various recommendation approaches I'd like to try. If the site had more users (beyond the ~4 friends I showed it to) I'd like to try out a collaborative filtering approach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering).

I took a course about bayesian stats and ML in college. We covered LDA. It's pretty awesome! I hope you can get it out and that it goes well.
