Welcome to the AF-IDF demo. Similarity between shows is calculated based upon the set of people who created it and their degree of involvement. Select a TV show and then click the "Get Similar" button at bottom. Processing may take up to a minute, typically 5-10 seconds.
Data
Use writers, directors, and cast only Use all cast and crew

IDF
Binary IDF membership - uncheck for partial membership
Log IDF
Normal IDF
Inverse IDF
No IDF -- only the AF will be used

Similarity
Dot product Euclidean distance Manhattan Distance
Distances only: No overrepresentation penalty (all elements in candidate vectors are forced to be <= the target vector)

General
Linear (Normal) AF
Nonlinear AF with exponent of
Binary AF- cast/crew of a show are all equally weighted, regardless of the number of episodes each worked on
Normalize author credit assignment - forces the sum of cast/crew weights in the AF vector (prior to IDF, if applicable) to be 1.
Normalize to unit vectors - vectors will be normalized to length 1; use with dot product for cosine similarity
