Collaborative Filtering/Evidence
Method evidence record

Collaborative Filtering

Collaborative filtering recommends items to a user by leveraging the preferences of many users — 'people who liked what you liked also liked this'. It learns from a sparse user-item interaction matrix, either by finding similar users or items (neighbourhood methods, formalized by Sarwar et al. in 2001) or by factorizing the matrix into latent user and item factors (matrix factorization, popularized by Koren et al. after the Netflix Prize).
