Abstract
The disclosed subject matter involves identifying clusters and segments of a population of data for use in a recommendation service. Clusters of members or items are formed, where the clusters, or partitions are close to being equal in size. Items are distributed based on similarities identified with matrix factorization. The items are formed into clusters based on the similarities and the clusters are used in training of a generalized linear mixed model treating the clusters as random-level effects. The trained model may be used in the recommendation service. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
