Best Bets values
The LikeMinds server generates recommendation vectors that include all recommendations for a given user in order from best quality to the least. We can configure the number of items to be returned as Best Bets and the maximum percentage of the total recommendation vector to include in the Best Bets list.
The LikeMinds server produces Best Bets by beginning with the highest-quality item in the recommendation vector and listing items in decreasing order of rating quality. To specify how many items the LikeMinds server should return as Best Bets, set db.applic.param.BestBets.Threshold. The default value of this parameter is the number of rating levels (specified by the db.applic.param.NumberRatingValues parameter) divided by 2. For example, if db.applic.param.NumberRatingValues were set to 12, the default would be 6. We can specify a different value, for example:
db.applic.param.BestBets.Threshold = 7Set db.applic.param.BestBets.list.cutoff to the maximum percentage of the total recommendation vector to include in the Best Bets list. For example:db.applic.param.BestBets.list.cutoff = 50
