  3. Data Compression

    Motivation

    One of the biggest challenge for improving the performance of a recommendation engine is how to reduce the data access time. By the nature of collaborative filtering algorithm, the data access pattern is very random. What’s more, since the user rating matrix is very sparse, multiple memory loads are very likely accessing very different addresses. Therfore, a compressed data structure that exploits memory locality will be extremely helpful. …

  5. Checkpoint 1

    Instead of focusing on collaborative filtering then matrix factorization, we decided to implement both serial versions so that we can parallelize our work after the checkpoint. Here is a list of things we have already finished:
