Google Alternating Least Squares. The science is similar to dimensionality reduction. The algorithm was originally designed to predict user ratings for things like the early netflix 5 star ratings. Now we tend to look at ranking items as more important.
The max rating is probably to set the highest rating when the ratings are returned as recommendations. Wouldn’t be good to return a rating of 6 to netflix.
