I would first focus on generic matrix factorization / completion
estimators as unsupervised estimators (using the standard model.fit(X)
API with a scipy sparse X). Then real a CF system could leverage such
building blocks to build its features in 3rd party libraries that
would build upon scikit-learn but would provide the domain specific
recsys boilerplate.
