<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Sir Ryan Curtin and Sumedh Ghaisas, </div><div> I read about archives in mailing list so I firstly build mlpack library and I had compile mlpack tutorial programs and now I am comfortable with it.Thanks for helping in completing my first step. I am Third Year B.Tech student CS Undergraduate from Vishwakarma Institute of Technology,Pune.I’m been an active C,C++ coder for many years now. I’m currently studying Recommender Systems and I want to explore it lot by learning new optimization methods and by implementing it.However, while it is possible for me to improve my knowledge of recommender system on the side while studying machine learning (most of my recommender system was self-taught anyway).I’ve always had a passion for both programming and mathematics. </div><div> So I want to move towards the second step to solve bug please direct me how to proceed toward it </div><div> </div><div> I'm interesrted in Alternatives to neighborhood-based collaborative filtering</div><div> I read about the paper attached on the site. Even I read the matrix factorization method of Amazon and Netflix which they used and understood it.</div><div> The reference material I read uptill now is </div><div> =>The given paper</div><div> =>Slideshare giving a brief idea about matrix factorization </div><div> <a href="https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjspY2ngK_LAhXOTI4KHU5NC8kQFgg8MAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slideshare.net%2Fstudentalei%2Fmatrix-factorization-techniques-for-recommender-systems&usg=AFQjCNEtwt1uY6UqtIRV595sg9KSkCX2vg&sig2=OWdhVM1sjWXiSRw10VaCGA&bvm=bv.116274245,d.c2E">https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjspY2ngK_LAhXOTI4KHU5NC8kQFgg8MAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slideshare.net%2Fstudentalei%2Fmatrix-factorization-techniques-for-recommender-systems&usg=AFQjCNEtwt1uY6UqtIRV595sg9KSkCX2vg&sig2=OWdhVM1sjWXiSRw10VaCGA&bvm=bv.116274245,d.c2E</a> </div><div> =>Matrix Factorization Techniques for Recommender Systems</div><div> By Yehuda Koren, Yahoo Research </div><div> Robert Bell and Chris Volinsky, AT&T Labs—Research</div><div><br></div><div>Please recommend what literature should i read and what top of bugs should i solve in this topic</div><div> Thanking You</div><div><br></div></div>
