Subject: Split data to training and test in CF
From: ziad kamel <ziad.kamel25@gmail.com>

Hi ! I understand that reason behind splitting data to training and
test during classification and clustering , but why we need to do that
during CF ? We just select top X from list and and compare with good
recommendations .
Thanks
