Explanation

Item-based scales with the number of items, and user-based scales with the number of users you have. If you have something like a store, you'll have a few thousand items at the most. The biggest stores at the time of writing have around 100,000 items. In the Netflix competition, there were 480,000 users and 17,700 movies. If you have a lot of users: then you'll probably want to go with item-based similarity. For most product-driven recommendation engines, the number of users outnumbers the number of items. There are more people buying items than unique items for sale. Item-based collaborative filtering makes predictions based on users preferences for items. More preference data should be beneficial to this type of algorithm. Content-based filtering recommender systems use information about items or users, and not user preferences, to make recommendations. Logistic Regression, Power iteration and a Naive Bayes classifier are not recommender system techniques.
