Keep in mind that time dynamics generally have benefit for predicting ratings. The point is that the average rating for a person goes up and down over time even if their general taste doesn't change. Likewise for an item. If you use implicit feedback and recommend based on recent behavior most o

Time Based Recommender System

2013-04-30 Thread Chirag Lakhani
I was wondering if the collaborative filtering library in Mahout has any algorithms that incorporate concept drift i.e. time dynamics. From my own research I have come across the BellKor algorithm called TimeSVD++ and there is a recent paper using hidden markov models with collaborative filtering.

I should say that it depends of course on what you are implementing. You can also write an algorithm to factor R, not P. If you're doing that, then I would not expect values to be so low. But I thought you were following the version where you factor P = R != 0. Multiplying by 3 and adding 1 would

Thanks again for replying. I didn't expect that since I'm using explicit feedback, not implicit, but mostly because the part files in U/ and V/ multiplied together give me back predicted ratings on a 1-4 scale. Would converting the 0/1 connection indicator to a 1-4 scale be any sort of reasonabl
