: The initial results seem to be kinda promising... of course there are many : more optimizations I could do like decay user ratings over time to indicate : that preferences decay over time so a 5 rating a year ago doesn't count as : much as a 5 rating today. : : Hope this helps others. I'll open source what I have soon and post back. If : there is feedback or other thoughts let me know!
Hey Amit, Glad to hear your user based boosting experiments are paying off. I would definitely love to see a more detailed writeup down the road showing off how it affects your final user metrics -- or perhaps even give a session on your technique at ApacheCon? http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
