Github user gaborhermann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2542 @tillrohrmann thanks for clarifying! Beside testing against Spark, I also did a small NumPy implementation, to make sure iALS works well. Although, I did not make efforts to imitate the initial random factor generation of Flink, so the results cannot be exactly the same. I am also happy to share that if needed.
