Hi Antony, In my experience, using such content-based features tends to make the recommendations worse. But of course, this can be different in your case. I suggest you start with a basic item-based recommender that ignores user descriptions. In your production system, you should create the

Hi Sebastian Pardon my ignorance but how do you suggest we use this o.a.m.cf.taste.impl. recommender.GenericBooleanPrefItemBasedRecommender? Can we use it by coding in Java? - if yes, do we need Java EE? Is there a Mahout perspective for Eclipse IDE? Is it possible to use these in Mahout CLI?

You can use it in a standard Java program, no need for JavaEE. There is no special perspective for Mahout in Eclipse. The easiest way to setup up a project is to configure a maven project and use mahout-core as dependency. On 23.11.2013 13:43, Pavan K Narayanan wrote: Hi Sebastian Pardon my

Hi Antony, I would start with a simple approach: extract all customerID,itemID tuples from the orders table and use them as your input data. How many of those do you have? The datasize will dictate whether you need to employ a distributed approach to recommendation mining or not. --sebastian On

Hi Anthony, I would suggest looking into the collaborative filtering functions. It will work best if you have your customers segmented into similar groups such as those that buy high end goods vs low end. _Dan On 11/22/13 11:04 AM, Antony Adopo saius...@gmail.com wrote: Ok. thanks for

If you want to try collaborative filtering you can start with a preference value of 1 for each user, item pair (order in this case) and see how that works. Then go from there and you can try to tweak things. With that data size you should be able to do it in memory on a reasonably large

Antony, You don't need numeric ratings or preferences for your recommender. I would suggest you start by using o.a.m.cf.taste.impl.recommender.GenericBooleanPrefItemBasedRecommender which has explicitly been built to support scenarios without ratings. I would further suggest to use
