Ok, I'll have a look. Thanks! I know mahout is intended for large scale machine learning, but I guess it shouldn't have problems with such small data either. Ted Dunning ted.dunn...@gmail.com schrieb: On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 9:45 PM, Andreas Bauer b...@gmx.net wrote: Hi, Thanks for your

I think the intuition here is, when making an item neighborhood base recommendation, to penalize the contribution of the items that the user has rated a long time ago. I didn't test this in a production recommender system, but I believe this might result in recommendation lists with better

You are correct that it should work with smaller data as well, but the trade-offs are going to be very different. In particular, some algorithms are completely infeasible at large scale, but are very effective at small scale. Some like those used in glmnet inherently require multiple passes

Pat, Would all of this be on Solr/Lucene 4.5.1? Mahout's presently at Lucene 4.3.1 (as of 0.8) , but we should be moving to the latest stable release at time of 0.9 release. On Thursday, November 7, 2013 10:33 PM, Pat Ferrel pat.fer...@gmail.com wrote: Another approach would be to

For recommendation work, I suggest that it would be better to simply code out an explicit OR query. On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 8:11 PM, Ken Krugler kkrugler_li...@transpac.comwrote: Hi Pat, On Nov 7, 2013, at 7:30pm, Pat Ferrel pat.fer...@gmail.com wrote: Another approach would be to weight

One other thing I should have mentioned is that if you care about setting weights on incoming terms, you can boost them using the ^value syntax. E.g. the_kings_speech^1.5 OR skyfalll^0.5 OR looper^3.0… If you want to account for weights of terms in the index, it's a bit harder. You can do

Not planning to do anything with weights at present. An ORed query should suffice for the time being and Solr weights. There are a good list of ways to do this later if it warrants an experiment. Thanks. Have, similar items as input, recommendations from user “likes”, and just got recs from
