CS 660 Assignment 6

Due at the beginning of class on Thursday, 25

This assignment asks you to experiment with collaborative filtering for recommender systems. You can find Java code here, and links to other code sources for other languages.

You may use any of the data sets available at Collaborative Filtering Reseources: Data Sets assembled by Jun Wang, who apparently used to be at the University of Delft, in the Netherlands.

What to do

Download the code and dataset.
Run the cf classifier, collecting both output from the classifier and run-time statistics.
Come up with an instance (pulled from the data) and get a recommendation for that instance.

To hand in

The usual description (what code and dataset(s) you used, what you did).
The output of your computation.
Statistics on the computation.
The recommendations generated.
