Revisiting the Performance of iALS on Item Recommendation Benchmarks
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext
We revisit four well-studied benchmarks where iALS was reported to perform poorly and show that with proper tuning, iALS is highly competitive and outperforms any method on at least half of the comparisons ...
Matrix factorization learned by implicit alternating least squares (iALS) is a popular baseline in recommender system research publications. iALS is known to be one of the most computationally efficient ...
Evaluation We revisit the performance of iALS on four well-studied benchmarks proposed by other authors. Two of them are item recommendation tasks and two are sampled item recommendation tasks. ...
