FYI, in April a project called *"***scikit-neuralnetwork" came into existence. It's a library wrapping Pylearn2 and providing a scikit-learn compatible interface. https://github.com/aigamedev/scikit-neuralnetwork As others have stated, there are already some nice Python neural network librarie

Hi Vinayak: scipy.stats implemented pearsonr() like that because it's a statistics routine. It treats 0 in the input data as indeed value 0. But in the context of recommender systems, "unrated" is different from score 0 (though we usually use 0 to represent "unrated" when score must be posit

together a proposal, you try to show your practical abilities to contribute to the project so that core developers become familiar with your work. I see you have started to do so at #4409; something that involves testing and/or documentation would be ideal. - Joel On 19 March 2015 at 09:30,

Hi Vinayak: I remember there is an off-the-shelf function in scipy.stats called pearsonr. You don't have to implement it on your own. Boyuan On 03/22/2015 01:21 PM, Vinayak Mehta wrote: Hello everyone! I was recently working on a simple movie recommender system in which I calculated the si
