Re: GenericUserBasedRecommender vs GenericItemBasedRecommender

[gabeweb]

Maybe the fundamental reason why exactly the same approach can't be used for
item- and user-based CF is that the tasks are not precisely symmetrical.  If
they were, and if in user-based CF we recommend the best items, then in
item-based CF we would be recommending the best *users*!
