Number of reduce tasks of PFP

2012-04-29 Thread Omi
Hello everyone I'm a novice at Mahout, and I meet some problems in PFP. There is always only one reduce task in ParallelFPGrowth. How can I set the number of reduce tasks in PFP? Thanks a lot! -- View this message in context:

Just wondering, what does mahout do for user/item pairs that do not have a rating? Does it fill it in with some average value? fill with zeros? something else? On Apr 25, 2012, at 4:26 PM, Sean Owen wrote: I don't know what the particular issue is; I imagine there's something that needs some

It depends a bit on the algorithm. The matrix-based approaches naturally implicitly assume 0. The similarity-based ones don't assume any value at all and missing data is ignored, not inferred. (But you can make it infer values if you want. But it's not helpful in general.) On Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at

ah sorry, I meant in the context of the SVDRecommender. Your earlier email mentioned that the DataModel does NOT do any subtraction, nor add back in the end, ensuring the matrix remains sparse. Does that mean it inserts zero values? On Apr 29, 2012, at 2:24 PM, Daniel Quach wrote: Just

Great, that helps! I'll just go ahead with the output file then and see what kind of results I get. Thank you! On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 12:36 PM, Jeff Eastman j...@windwardsolutions.comwrote: I think the answer to this question lies in how Dirichlet works: During each iteration, all points are

reducer or reduce tasks? In PFP, there is a parameter called groups. For each group, PFP will generate a reduce task, not a reducer. You can specify how many reducer you want via modifying your xml configuration file in hadoop. Regards, Q 2012/4/29 Wenhao Xu wenhao...@gmail.com Edit the
