He eventually began fiddling again using a prosthetic attachment to hold his bow, and he can be heard playing on some later Skillet Licker records in this manner (for example, on "Broken Down Gambler").

Item-item collaborative filtering is analogous to "people who rate item X highly, like you, also tend to rate item Y highly, and you haven't rated item Y yet, so you should try it". Item-item collaborative filtering had less error than user-user collaborative filtering. In addition, its less-dynamic model was computed less often and stored in a smaller matrix, so item-item system performance was better than user-user systems. Slope One is a family of item-item collaborative filtering algorithms designed to reduce model overfitting problems. Item-item collaborative filtering Item-item collaborative filtering, or item-based, or item-to-item, is a form of collaborative filtering for recommender systems based
