Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-358: ---------------------------------- Having decimal values is normal. Negative values are bizarre though. The co-occurrence matrix and user vector should have nonnegative values, so I can't see how it gets a negative element from multiplications and additions. I don't see any obvious problems with the logic. I wonder if you can debug, look at the cooccurrence matrix and/or user vectors? make sure neither has negative values? I'm trying to imagine wild scenarios, like overflowing an int in the cooccurrence matrix? but you don't have billions of users... > the pref value field of output of > org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob has negative > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-358 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-358 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Test > Components: Collaborative Filtering > Affects Versions: 0.4 > Reporter: Hui Wen Han > Attachments: screenshot-1.jpg > > > In my test the input pref values all is positive. > the output score value has negative value , -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
