Hi Sean, Thanks for the quick response.
By model, I am not referring to data model but, a "trained" recommender instance. Weka, for examples, has ability to save and load models:- http://weka.wikispaces.com/Serialization http://weka.wikispaces.com/Saving+and+loading+models This avoids the need to train model (recommender) every time a server is bounced or program is restarted. regards, Vinod On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 5:43 PM, Sean Owen <[email protected]> wrote: > The classes aren't Serializable, no.
