Thanks for the explanation, Pat!
Do you know how to tell the template to use explicit ratings? If so, please

I did not write the template you are using. I am trying to explain what the
template should be doing and how ALS works. I’m sure that with exactly the same
data you should get the same results but in real life you will need to
understand the algorithm a little deeper and so the pointer to the

anything even. Everything I did was steps from this page. I did not perform
any additional operations, including editing the source code.
Instruction (Quick Start - Recommendation Engine Template):
Implicit means you assign a score to the event based on your own guess.
Explicit uses ratings the user makes. One score is a guess by you (like a 4 for
buy) and the other is a rating made by the user. ALS comes in 2 flavors, one

I wanted to use the Recomender because I expected that it could predict the
scores as it is done by MovieLens. And it seems to be doing so, but for
some reason the input and output scale is different. In imported scores,
from 1 to 5, and in the predicted from 1 to 10.

UR calculates LLR between item pairs and leaves only pairs that pass
threshold.
This is stored in ES as documents with item as id and correlated items
tokens as text (item -> (item,item,...)).
UR makes a query to es with its own item list (for example,
I didn't solve the problem :(
Now I use the universal recommender
