Comment on Giving Away Our Recommendation Engineparent

Comments

https://www.coursera.org/course/recsys will provide you with a good introduction to the topic

Thanks. For others who are interested, that course apparently uses a different piece of software called LensKit http://lenskit.grouplens.org/

Could anyone summarize the difference between Pig and LensKit when applied to recommendation systems?

The mortar recommendation system is written in Pig, and can scale to any data size, even petabytes. The lenskit tool cannot.
