How are you using LLR to compute user similarity? It is normally used to compute item similarity? Also, what is your scale? how many users? how many items? how many actions per user? On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 6:24 PM, Parimi Rohit wrote: > Hi, > > I am exploring a random-walk based algorithm

Ted, Thanks for your response. Following is the information about the approach and the datasets: I am using the ItemSimilarityJob and passing it "itemID, userID, prefCount" tuples as input to compute user-user similarity using LLR. I read this approach from a response for one of the stackoverflow

This is an incredibly tiny dataset. If you delete singletons, it is likely to get significantly smaller. I think that something like LDA might work much better for you. It was designed to work on small data like this. On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 11:13 AM, Parimi Rohit wrote: > Ted, Thanks for you

Ted, I know LDA can be used to model text data but never used it in this setting. Can you please give me some pointers on how I can apply it in this setting? Thanks, Rohit On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 4:33 PM, Ted Dunning wrote: > This is an incredibly tiny dataset. If you delete singletons, it is
