Project : Collaborative Filtering
 
 
 
Motivation
 
Please refer to wiki/collaborative filtering.
For more detail, you can check this paper:[1].
In briefly, the user-based filtering (ub-filtering)[3] and item-based filtering(ib-filtering)[4] are the widely used techniques for comparing the performance of preference prediction.
Besides, the MovieLen[2] is a widely used dataset is the recommendation society. However, the comparators cannot easy find ub/ib-filtering to redo the experiemnt on the Movielen dataset.
Hence, we implement and release ub/ib-filtering for this inconvenience.
