Constructor Detail

BiasedMF

public BiasedMF(DataModel datamodel,
                Map<String,Object> params)

Model constructor from a Map containing the model's hyper-parameters values. Map object must contains the following keys:

• numFactors: int value with the number of latent factors.
• numIters:: int value with the number of iterations.
• gamma (optional): double value with the learning rate hyper-parameter. If missing, it is set to 0.01.
• lambda (optional): double value with the regularization hyper-parameter. If missing, it is set to 0.05.
• seed (optional): random seed for random numbers generation. If missing, random value is used.

Parameters:

datamodel - DataModel instance

params - Model's hyper-parameters values
