“…The benchmarks that we pick have been proposed and studied by multiple research groups [18,9,13,1,6] and other researchers have used them for evaluating newly proposed algorithms [26,14,19,27]. The poor iALS results have been established and reproduced by multiple groups [18,13,9,6,1] including a paper focused on reproducibility [1]. However, contrary to these results, we show that iALS can in fact generate high quality results on exactly the same benchmarks using exactly the same evaluation method.…”
