if you’re curious, the reason for the annoying caching of the blank image when your server 404s (or otherwise errors) is that without doing that, its possible for a developer to make a profile counter app by always serving up a 404 so that there is a ping every time the box is rendered.

Yes, of course… it’s most certainly not an Eclipse plugin. I’ve updated the post to reflect that. Thanks!

Great, that JavaRebel is working so well for you. I do save more time a day using it but this boils done to development habits and what exactly one does.

Just pointing out that JavaRebel itself is just a javaagent (also called a JVM plugin) and not an Eclipse plugin.

Ed Lyons and Brian Halligan posing for a photo.

Now, *that’s* something I would not have expected in the near term.

In any case, congrats to the StyleFeeder team. Good stuff.

Comment on Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization by Jason Rennie

Hi Manu,

Yes, MMMF certainly can be used for binary data. MMMF can be applied to data with any number of ordinal labels >= 2. In both the original NIPS MMMF paper, as well as the ICML Fast MMMF paper, you may have noticed that we used `R’ to represent the number of ordinal labels. You can simply set R=2 for binary data. This should simplify many of the expressions. For my MMMF matlab code, pass 2 for the value of l for the gradient/objective function.

Hi,
Can MMMF be used for recommendation based on binary data (ie: i like/dislike this item) instead of rating data ? If so, could you point out any relevant publication.
I have trouble to figure that out.
Thank you.
