Hello,

We have come across situation where one similarity measure doesn't give
desired result.

E.g we use PearsonCorrelationSimilarity to get similarity between users
but find that only overlaps in ratings between the 2 users are being
considered in final result, without consideration of the overall
population.

However, instead of resorting to a different measure, e.g.
LogLikelihoodSimilarity or TanimotoCoefficientSimilarity, we are of
opinion that we mix 2 or 3 measures so that weakness of one is booted by
strength of the other.

This is still experimental and don't how final outcome will be. But was
just wondering if mixing similarity measures is advisable in the 1st
place?

Thanks.

Mugoma Joseph.
