Thank you Sebastian. The data set is not that large, as we are running tests on a subset. It is about 24k users, 40k items, the preference file has 65k preferences as triples. This was using Similarity Cooccurrence.
I can see if I could anonymise the data set to share if that would be helpful. Thanks for your kind help. Rafal -- Rafal Lukawiecki Pardon my brevity, sent from a telephone.
