Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-305:
----------------------------------

They don't influence the similarity metric but they do influence the estimated 
ratings and therefore recommendations. Are we talking about the same algorithm? 
The last step is to multiply the co-occurrence matrix by the user -rating- 
vector.

> Combine both cooccurrence-based CF M/R jobs

> We have two different but essentially identical MapReduce jobs to make 
> recommendations based on item co-occurrence: 
> org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.{item,cooccurrence}. They ought to be 
> merged. Not sure exactly how to approach that but noting this in JIRA, per
