> We started working on implementing ranking predictions for recommender 
> systems. Ranking prediction means that beside predicting scores for user-item 
> pairs, the recommender system is able to recommend a top K list for the users.
> Details:
> In practice, this would mean finding the K items for a particular user with 
> the highest predicted rating. It should be possible also to specify whether 
> to exclude the already seen items from a particular user's toplist. (See for 
> example the 'exclude_known' setting of [Graphlab Create's ranking 
> factorization 
> recommender|https://turi.com/products/create/docs/generated/graphlab.recommender.ranking_factorization_recommender.RankingFactorizationRecommender.recommend.html#graphlab.recommender.ranking_factorization_recommender.RankingFactorizationRecommender.recommend]
>  ).
> The output of the topK recommendation function could be in the form of 
> {{DataSet[(Int,Int,Int)]}}, meaning (user, item, rank), similar to Graphlab 
> Create's output. However, this is arguable: follow up work includes 
> implementing ranking recommendation evaluation metrics (such as precision@k, 
> recall@k, ndcg@k), similar to [Spark's 
> implementations|https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.5.0/mllib-evaluation-metrics.html#ranking-systems].
>  It would be beneficial if we were able to design the API such that it could 
> be included in the proposed evaluation framework (see 
> [5157|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2157]), which makes it 
> neccessary to consider the possible output type {{DataSet[(Int, 
> Array[Int])]}} or {{DataSet[(Int, Array[(Int,Double)])]}} meaning (user, 
> array of items), possibly including the predicted scores as well. See 
> [4713|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4713] for details.
> Another question arising is whether to provide this function as a member of 
> the ALS class, as a switch-kind of parameter to the ALS implementation 
> (meaning the model is either a rating or a ranking recommender model) or in 
> some other way.
