--------------------------------------------

hi i am anant khandelwal currently pursuing masters from IIT delhi in the area of machine learning and numerical optimization i would like to contribute to the project  
i will submit my proposal by tomorrow ..

Thanks

> Factorization Machines have gained popularity in recent years due to their effectiveness in recommendation systems. FMs are general predictors which allow to capture interactions between all features in a features matrix. The feature matrices pertinent to the recommendation systems are highly sparse. SystemML's highly efficient distributed sparse matrix operations can be leveraged to implement FMs in a scalable fashion. Given the closed model equation of FMs, the model parameters can be learned using gradient descent methods.
> This project aims to implement FMs as described in the first paper:
> http://www.algo.uni-konstanz.de/members/rendle/pdf/Rendle2010FM.pdf
> We'll showcase the scalability of SystemML implementation of FMs by creating an end-to-end recommendation system.
> Basic understanding of machine learning and optimization techniques is required. Will need to collaborate with the team to resolve scaling and other systems related issues.
