I think you are referring to the same step? QR decomposition is how you solve for u_i which is what I imagine the same step you have in mind.

QR decomposition in ALS-WR code

2013-03-15 Thread Dominik Hübner
I was recently having a look at the ALS-WR factorisation code. Why is there a QR decomposition before computing u_i or m_j instead of multiplying the inverse of A_i with V_i straightaway? (reference to these two classes https://github.com/apache/mahout/blob/trunk/math/src/main/java/org/apache/ma
