I'm suggesting using numbers like -1 for thumbs-down ratings, and then using these as a positive weight towards 0, just like positive values are used as positive weighting towards 1. Most people don't make many negative ratings. For them, what you do with these doesn't make a lot of difference. It

To your point Ted, I was surprised to find that remove-from-cart actions predicted sales almost as well as purchases did but it also meant filtering from recs. We got the best scores treating them as purchases and not recommending them again. No one pried enough to get get bothered. In this par

For low dimension problems with limited data, you will be much happier with something like R for clustering and visualization. On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 11:52 AM, syed kather wrote: > Hi Team >How to do the K Mean Clustering on 2 selected Columns > > > > Line No,age,income,sex,city > 1,22,15

I have found that in practice, don't-like is very close to like. That is, things that somebody doesn't like are very closely related to the things that they do like. Things that are quite distant wind up as don't-care, not don't-like. This makes most simple approaches to modeling polar preferenc

Yes the model has no room for literally negative input. I think that conceptually people do want negative input, and in this model, negative numbers really are the natural thing to express that. You could give negative input a small positive weight. Or extend the definition of c so that it is mere
