Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-541:
----------------------------------
For #2, I believe it is just trying to compute a value that is randomly within
an interval of size "randomNoise" about "defaultValue". In that sense 0.5 makes
sense as a fixed value. Don't know about #1 but trust you guys know your stuff.
Is it worth a patch to describe completely?

> I thought I'd put up this implementation of the popular SVD algorithm for
> recommender systems. It is based on the SVD implementation, but instead of
> computing each user and each item matrix, it trains the model iteratively,
> which was the original version that Simon Funk proposed. The advantage of
> this implementation is that you don't have to recalculate the dot product of
> each user-item pair for each training cycle, they can be cached, which speeds
> up the algorithm considerably.
