Subject: evaluating distributed recommendation results
To: user@mahout.apache.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org

Hi,

I'm generating item similarities and recommendations using the
distributed jobs. Is there a way I can evaluate the results? The MIA
book describes how to do this with the non-distributed recommenders,
but I can't find anything on evaluating the distributed stuff. Any
tips on doing this?

Thanks,
Matt
