Anatoliy Kats commented on MAHOUT-925:
--------------------------------------
Actually I see the difference between precision and recall still remains, but
not in boolean case.
> Evaluate the reach of recommender algorithms

> Key: MAHOUT-925
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-925
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Collaborative Filtering
> Affects Versions: 0.5
> Reporter: Anatoliy Kats
> Assignee: Sean Owen
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: MAHOUT-925.patch

> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> The evaluation of a CF algorithm should include reach, the proportion of
> users for whom a recommendation could be made. An algorithm usually has a
> cutoff value on the confidence of the recommender, and if it is not high
> enough, no recommendation is made. The number of requested recommendations,
> or this parameter could be varied as part of the evaluation. The proposed
> patch adds this.
> My build with this patch breaks
> testMapper(org.apache.mahout.classifier.df.mapreduce.partial.Step1MapperTest):
> org.apache.mahout.classifier.df.node.Leaf.<init>(I)V . The test seems
> unrelated to the patch, so I am assuming this is broken in the trunk head as
> well. Unfortunately I am under a deadline, and I do not have time to write
> tests for the patch.
