iALS++: Speeding up Matrix Factorization with Subspace Optimization

1 code implementation26 Oct 2021 Steffen Rendle, Walid Krichene, Li Zhang, Yehuda Koren

However, iALS does not scale well with large embedding dimensions, d, due to its cubic runtime dependency on d. Coordinate descent variations, iCD, have been proposed to lower the complexity to quadratic in d. In this work, we show that iCD approaches are not well suited for modern processors and can be an order of magnitude slower than a careful iALS implementation for small to mid scale embedding sizes (d ~ 100) and only perform better than iALS on large embeddings d ~ 1000.
