What about including an implementation for Alternating Least Squares?

[JaneCoder]

My team is writing a recommender system using collaborative filtering, and data scientists at our institution have suggest this is the algorithm we need to use. Is there one that could be included here? And if not, would you be interested in listing ours if we find we must invent our own? Thanks!

Any news from your data scientists?

I actually have worked on a ruby version based on something from a data scientist. But we had trouble with slowness. It's something i want to get back to soon. But might go with Python.

I'm sure that Python is not inherently faster than Ruby. Profiling your code may show slow spots.

I'm hoping to take a look at this soon.
