Mahout: SlopeOneRecommender

This kind of recommender is used when user preferences changing frequently. SlopeOneRecommender is good to use for real-world systems, since these algorithms are easy to implement and support dynamic updates.

You can go through following articles for more information.


Note
SlopeOne Recommender was removed from Mahout 0.8, If you want to still use it, use an earlier version such as Mahout 0.7.
