This document outlines an item-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm that has been scaled up to run on Hadoop. It first discusses collaborative filtering techniques and how they work. It then describes scaling up the item-based collaborative filtering approach by dividing it into two steps: similarity computation and prediction/recommendation. The key computations involve calculating average item ratings, similarity between item pairs, and predicted ratings for target users. An experiment tested the scaled approach on a Hadoop cluster with 3 nodes.
