  2. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_recommendation

    A letter of recommendation or recommendation letter, also known as a letter of reference, reference letter, or simply reference, is a document in which the writer assesses the qualities, characteristics, and capabilities of the person being recommended in terms of that individual's ability to perform a particular task or function.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_One

    Slope One is a family of algorithms used for collaborative filtering, introduced in a 2005 paper by Daniel Lemire and Anna Maclachlan. [1] Arguably, it is the simplest form of non-trivial item-based collaborative filtering based on ratings.

    Methods should be verbs in lowerCamelCase or a multi-word name that begins with a verb in lowercase; that is, with the first letter lowercase and the first letters of subsequent words in uppercase. run(); runFast(); getBackground(); Variables Local variables, instance variables, and class variables are also written in lowerCamelCase.

  7. Non-negative matrix factorization - Wikipedia

    That method is commonly used for analyzing and clustering textual data and is also related to the latent class model. NMF with the least-squares objective is equivalent to a relaxed form of K-means clustering : the matrix factor W contains cluster centroids and H contains cluster membership indicators.

  8. Reduction operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_Operator

    Starting the summation from the beginning of the array yields: (((((+) +) +) +) +) +) + = Since '+' is both commutative and associative, it is a reduction operator. Therefore this reduction can be performed in parallel using several cores, where each core computes the sum of a subset of the array, and the reduction operator merges the results.

  9. MapReduce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce

    MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating big data sets with a parallel and distributed algorithm on a cluster. [1] [2] [3]A MapReduce program is composed of a map procedure, which performs filtering and sorting (such as sorting students by first name into queues, one queue for each name), and a reduce method, which performs a summary ...
