    Choice of Metrics used in Collaborative Filtering and their Impact on Recommender Systems

    The capacity of recommender systems to make correct predictions is essentially determined by the quality and suitability of the collaborative filtering that implements them. The common memory-based metrics are Pearson correlation and cosine, however, their use is not always the most appropriate or sufficiently justified. In this paper, we analyze these two metrics together with the less common mean squared difference (MSD) to discover their advantages and drawbacks in very important aspects such as the impact when introducing different values of k-neighborhoods, minimization of the MAE error, capacity to carry out a sufficient number of predictions, percentage of correct and incorrect predictions and behavior when attempting to recommend the n-best items. The paper lists the results and practical conclusions that have been obtained after carrying out a comparative study of the metrics based on 135 experiments on the MovieLens database of 100,000 ratios

    The volcanoes at Nariño department are active stratovolcanoes located from 5 to 10 Km near towns with population between 30000 and 350000 inhabitants. Thermal springs of these volcanoes are brackish, with temperatures ranging from 22 to 62°C. Two types of altered rocks were identified: acid alteration on the summit of studied volcanoes and intermediate to alkaline alteration on the low part. All thermal waters of theses volcanoes are inmature and have not established an equilibrium state in the water-rock interphase. There are twenty-one thermal springs in the department of Nariño, three of which are classified as bicarbonates; five are chlorides and another have high contents of sulphates in its waters.Los volcanes del departamento de Nariño, son estratovolcanes activos localizados a 5 - 10 Km de las cabeceras municipales de poblaciones con 30000 a 350000 habitantes. Las aguas termales de estos volcanes son todas salobres, con temperaturas en sus manantiales entre 22 y 62°C. Se identificaron dos clases de alteración de las rocas: alteración ácida en la parte alta de los volcanes estudiados y alteración intermedia a alcalina en la parte baja. Además, todas las aguas termales de los volcanes nariñenses se encuentran muy alejadas de establecer un equilibrio en la interfase roca-agua. De las veintiuna fuentes termales que hay en el departamento de Nariño, tres son clasificadas como bicarbonatadas; cinco son cloruradas y las restantes fuentes termales presentan altos contenidos de sulfatos en sus aguas. &nbsp
