<h2 id="collaborative-filtering">Collaborative filtering</h2>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recommender_system#Collaborative_filtering">Collaborative filtering</a>
is commonly used for recommender systems. These techniques aim to fill in the
missing entries of a user-item association matrix. <code>spark.mllib</code> currently supports
model-based collaborative filtering, in which users and products are described
by a small set of latent factors that can be used to predict missing entries.
<code>spark.mllib</code> uses the <a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1608614">alternating least squares
(ALS)</a>
algorithm to learn these latent factors. The implementation in <code>spark.mllib</code> has the
following parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>numBlocks</em> is the number of blocks used to parallelize computation (set to -1 to auto-configure).</li>
<li><em>rank</em> is the number of latent factors in the model.</li>
<li><em>iterations</em> is the number of iterations to run.</li>
<li><em>lambda</em> specifies the regularization parameter in ALS.</li>
<li><em>implicitPrefs</em> specifies whether to use the <em>explicit feedback</em> ALS variant or one adapted for
<em>implicit feedback</em> data.</li>
<li><em>alpha</em> is a parameter applicable to the implicit feedback variant of ALS that governs the
<em>baseline</em> confidence in preference observations.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="explicit-vs-implicit-feedback">Explicit vs. implicit feedback</h3>
<p>The standard approach to matrix factorization based collaborative filtering treats
the entries in the user-item matrix as <em>explicit</em> preferences given by the user to the item.</p>
<p>It is common in many real-world use cases to only have access to <em>implicit feedback</em> (e.g. views,
clicks, purchases, likes, shares etc.). The approach used in <code>spark.mllib</code> to deal with such data is taken
from
<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICDM.2008.22">Collaborative Filtering for Implicit Feedback Datasets</a>.
Essentially instead of trying to model the matrix of ratings directly, this approach treats the data
as a combination of binary preferences and <em>confidence values</em>. The ratings are then related to the
level of confidence in observed user preferences, rather than explicit ratings given to items. The
model then tries to find latent factors that can be used to predict the expected preference of a
user for an item.</p>
<h3 id="scaling-of-the-regularization-parameter">Scaling of the regularization parameter</h3>
<p>Since v1.1, we scale the regularization parameter <code>lambda</code> in solving each least squares problem by
the number of ratings the user generated in updating user factors,
or the number of ratings the product received in updating product factors.
This approach is named “ALS-WR” and discussed in the paper
“<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-68880-8_32">Large-Scale Parallel Collaborative Filtering for the Netflix Prize</a>”.
It makes <code>lambda</code> less dependent on the scale of the dataset.
So we can apply the best parameter learned from a sampled subset to the full dataset
and expect similar performance.</p>
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
<div class="codetabs">
<div data-lang="scala">
<p>In the following example we load rating data. Each row consists of a user, a product and a rating.
We use the default <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.recommendation.ALS$">ALS.train()</a>
method which assumes ratings are explicit. We evaluate the
recommendation model by measuring the Mean Squared Error of rating prediction.</p>

<p>All of MLlib’s methods use Java-friendly types, so you can import and call them there the same
way you do in Scala. The only caveat is that the methods take Scala RDD objects, while the
Spark Java API uses a separate <code>JavaRDD</code> class. You can convert a Java RDD to a Scala one by
calling <code>.rdd()</code> on your <code>JavaRDD</code> object. A self-contained application example
that is equivalent to the provided example in Scala is given below:</p>
