https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/mllib-collaborative-filtering.html : bq. rank is the number of latent factors in the model. https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.recommendation.ALS$ : bq. rank - number of features to use As a noob to ALS, I found this confusing. Maybe the api docs could state: bq. rank - number of features to use (also referred to as the number of latent factors) I'm happy to send in a PR. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
