These techniques aim to fill in the missing entries of a user-item association matrix. MLlib 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. -In particular, we implement the [alternating least squares +MLlib uses the [alternating least squares (ALS)](http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1608614) algorithm to learn these latent factors.
