    """
    Alternating Least Squares (ALS) matrix factorization.

    ALS attempts to estimate the ratings matrix `R` as the product of
    two lower-rank matrices, `X` and `Y`, i.e. `X * Yt = R`. Typically
    these approximations are called 'factor' matrices. The general
    approach is iterative. During each iteration, one of the factor
    matrices is held constant, while the other is solved for using least
    squares. The newly-solved factor matrix is then held constant while
    solving for the other factor matrix.

    This is a blocked implementation of the ALS factorization algorithm
    that groups the two sets of factors (referred to as "users" and
    "products") into blocks and reduces communication by only sending
    one copy of each user vector to each product block on each
    iteration, and only for the product blocks that need that user's
    feature vector. This is achieved by pre-computing some information
    about the ratings matrix to determine the "out-links" of each user
    (which blocks of products it will contribute to) and "in-link"
    information for each product (which of the feature vectors it
    receives from each user block it will depend on). This allows us to
    send only an array of feature vectors between each user block and
    product block, and have the product block find the users' ratings
    and update the products based on these messages.

    For implicit preference data, the algorithm used is based on
    "Collaborative Filtering for Implicit Feedback Datasets", available
    at `http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICDM.2008.22`, adapted for the blocked
    approach used here.

    Essentially instead of finding the low-rank approximations to the
    rating matrix `R`, this finds the approximations for a preference
    matrix `P` where the elements of `P` are 1 if r > 0 and 0 if r <= 0.
    The ratings then act as 'confidence' values related to strength of
    indicated user preferences rather than explicit ratings given to
    items.
