Would be easy to set up: needs a Recommender with a no-arg constructor that

Yeah, I was thinking we could do this w/ several of the Taste examples, and just have the JAR be taste-examples.jar



The Netflix data set is much much larger: the code has to choose to use only about 1% of the data or else the memory requirement passes a gigabyte, which is probably too much for a casual demo. It isn't really a recommender that uses the whole data set, so maybe that is why I didn't set it up as a proper
demo.

OK



There is more code in there which was bits of a more sophisticated effort which is suitable for running in batch on a big machine - not demo friendly.

Good to know

Hi,

I see there is a Netflix recommender for Taste checked in.  Is there
directions some where for running it? Something akin to the Group Lens
instructions would be pretty cool.

Seems like we could package up a JAR just like group lens, but I'm not sure
about where to put the data, etc.
