> Mahout does not recommend items which are already consumed by the user.
> For example,
> In the getAllOtherItems method of GenericUserBasedRecommender class there is
> the following line
> possibleItemIDs.removeAll(dataModel.getItemIDsFromUser(theUserID));
> which removes user's items from the possibleItemIDs to prevent these items
> from being recommended to the user. This is ok for many recommendation cases
> but for many other cases it is not.
> The Recommender classes (I mean all of them, NN-based and SVD-based as well
> as hadoop and non-hadoop versions) might have a parameter for this for
> excluding or not excluding user items in the returned recommendations.
