Our paper on recipe recommendation using recipe networks was featured in Science News.

I'll be on sabbatical starting Sept 2011, splitting my time between Facebook and Berkeley.

If you are interested in a PhD or postdoc position at U. Michigan starting in fall '12, please contact me.

Jiang Yang and Eytan Bakshy both defended their PhD dissertations July 2011. Congrats!
