> I want to start a discussion about factoring out the logic used in splitting
> the data set into training and testing. Here is how things stand: There are
> two independent evaluator based classes:
> AbstractDifferenceRecommenderEvaluator, splits all the preferences randomly
> into a training and testing set. GenericRecommenderIRStatsEvaluator takes
> one user at a time, removes their top AT preferences, and counts how many of
> them the system recommends back.
> I have two use cases that both deal with temporal dynamics. In one case,
> there may be expired items that can be used for building a training model,
> but not a test model. In the other, I may want to simulate the behavior of a
> real system by building a preference matrix on days 1-k, and testing on the
> ratings the user generated on the day k+1. In this case, it's not items, but
> preferences(user, item, rating triplets) which may belong only to the
> training set. Before we discuss appropriate design, are there any other use
> cases we need to keep in mind?
