please clarify the difference between 'warrior' and 'wizard' recommender
a basic tutorial on the effect of picking different recommenders
The dropdown now includes a brief description of the differences between the two algorithms.

Same question. I'm not seeing the brief description between the two. Both have the same description.

@F. Ehrhardt: look just above that for a description of your current choice. E.g., "You are using the bard recommender. This recommender is best for new MovieLens users. It uses your movie group selection to determine which movies to recommend. It is a special version of the warrior that only recommends from a restricted pool of movies (it uses an algorithm from Chang et al., for the technically minded and curious)."

"the warrior" based on ratings
...and
"the wizard" based on ratingsdiffer???

Even just a reference to a research paper would help. Anything. For now this is just "we recommend this", but if you switch this tumbler, then "we recommend that".

We're currently trying to learn about which algorithms people prefer, and why (we're a research lab). Don't expect any details for a few months.
