<p><em>spark-itemsimilarity</em> is the Spark counterpart of the of the Mahout mapreduce job called <em>itemsimilarity</em>. It takes in elements of interactions, which have userID, itemID, and optionally a value. It will produce one of more indicator matrices created by comparing every user's interactions with every other user. The indicator matrix is an item x item matrix where the values are log-likelihood ratio strengths. For the legacy mapreduce version, there were several possible similarity measures but these are being deprecated in favor of LLR because in practice it performs the best.</p>
<p>Mahout's mapreduce version of itemsimilarity takes a text file that is expected to have user and item IDs that conform to Mahout's ID requirements--they are non-negative integer that can be viewed as row and column numbers in a matrix.</p>
<p><em>spark-itemsimilarity</em> also extends the notion of cooccurrence to cross-cooccurrence, in other words the Spark version will account for multi-modal interactions and create cross-indicator matrices allowing users to make use of much more data in creating recommendations or similar item lists.</p>

<p>This looks daunting but defaults to simple fairly sane values to take exactly the same input as legacy code and is pretty flexible. It allows the user to point to a single text file, a directory full of files, or a tree of directories to be traversed recursively. The files included can be specified with either a regex-style pattern or filename. The schema for the file is defined by column numbers, which map to the important bits of data including IDs and values. The files can even contain filters, which allow unneeded rows to be discarded or used for cross-cooccurrence calculations.</p>
<p>See ItemSimilarityDriver.scala in Mahout's spark module if you want to customize the code. </p>
<h3 id="defaults-in-the-spark-itemsimilarity-cli">Defaults in the <em>spark-itemsimilarity</em> CLI</h3>

<h2 id="2-spark-rowsimilarity">2. spark-rowsimilarity</h2>
<p><em>spark-rowsimilarity</em> is the companion to <em>spark-itemsimilarity</em> the primary difference is that it takes a text file version of a DRM with optional application specific IDs. The input is in text-delimited form where there are three delimiters used. By default it reads (rowID<tab>columnID1:strength1<space>columnID2:strength2...) Since this job only supports LLR similarity, which does not use the input strengths, they may be omitted in the input. It writes (columnID<tab>columnID1:strength1<space>columnID2:strength2...) The output is sorted by strength descending. The output can be interpreted as a column id from the primary input followed by a list of the most similar columns. For a discussion of the output layout and formatting see <em>spark-itemsimilarity</em>. </p>
<p>One significant output option is --omitStrength. This allows output of the form (columnID<tab>columnID2<space>columnID2<space>...) This is a tab-delimited file containing a columnID token followed by a space delimited string of tokens. It can be directly indexed by search engines to create an item-based recommender.</p>
<p>The command line interface is:</p>

-<p>Algorithm control options:
- -mo <value> | --maxObservations <value>
- Max number of observations to consider per row (optional). Default: 500
- -m <value> | --maxSimilaritiesPerRow <value>
- Limit the number of similarities per item to this number (optional).
- Default: 100</p>
-<p>Note: Only the Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) is supported as a similarity measure.</p>

<h1 id="3-creating-a-recommender">3. Creating a Recommender</h1>
<p>One significant output option for the spark-itemsimilarity job is --omitStrength. This is a tab-delimited file containing a itemID token followed by a space delimited string of tokens of the form:</p>
-<p><code>itemID<tab>itemsIDs-from-the-indicator-matrix</code></p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">itemID</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">tab</span><span class="o">></span><span class="n">itemsIDs</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">from</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">the</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">indicator</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">matrix</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
<p>To create a cooccurrence type collaborative filtering recommender using a search engine simply index this output created with --omitStrength. Then at runtime query the indexed data with the current user's history of the primary action on the index field that contains the primary indicator tokens. The result will be an ordered list of itemIDs as recommendations.</p>
<p>It is possible to include the indicator strengths by attaching them to the tokens before indexing but that is engine specific and beyond this description. Using without weights generally provides good results since the indicators have been downsampled by strength so the indicator matrix has some degree of quality guarantee. </p>
<h2 id="multi-action-recommendations">Multi-action Recommendations</h2>
<p>Optionally the query can contain the user's history of a secondary action (input with --input2) against the cross-indicator tokens as a second field.</p>
<p>In this case the indicator-matrix and the cross-indicator-matrix should be combined and indexed as two fields. The data will be of the form:</p>
-<p><code>itemID, itemIDs-from-indicator-matrix, itemIDs-from-cross-indicator-matrix</code></p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">itemID</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">itemIDs</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">from</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">indicator</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">matrix</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">itemIDs</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">from</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="nb">cross</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">indicator</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">matrix</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
<p>Now the query will have one string of the user's primary action history and a second of the user's secondary action history against two fields in the index.</p>
<p>It is probably better to index the two (or more) fields as multi-valued fields (arrays) and query them as such but the above works in much the same way if the indexed tokens are space delimited as is the query string. </p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Using the underlying code it is possible to use as many actions as you have data for to create a multi-action recommender that makes the most of available data. The CLI only supports two actions.</p>
