I suppose Xing's MMC is highly cited because it's the pioneer of the field. Though, having Ng and Jordan as co-authors looks impressing. Either way, it requires to perform an eigen decomposition at each step, which has cubic (in number of features) complexity. ​ > we would need a way to get the le

[Scikit-learn-general] Pearson Correlation Similarity Measure

2015-03-22 Thread Vinayak Mehta
Hello everyone! I was recently working on a simple movie recommender system in which I calculated the similarity between two users using the PCS Measure. This led me to thinking how it would be awesome if I could just import one from sklearn. I wanted to discuss about the possibility of adding PC

Hi Vinayak: I remember there is an off-the-shelf function in scipy.stats called pearsonr. You don't have to implement it on your own. Boyuan On 03/22/2015 01:21 PM, Vinayak Mehta wrote: Hello everyone! I was recently working on a simple movie recommender system in which I calculated the si
