Just looking for some clarification. As a GSoC project would the SVD option mentioned below be a case of integrating the distributed SVD of MAHOUT-180 with the existing SVDRecommender?
If so is there still a full GSoC project there? or would I need to combine it with say making the slope-one recommender fully distributed too?
