[io.sustc.service.RecommenderService#generalRecommendations(int, int)] Counting of the rates of like/coin/favorite

[Jaredanwolfgang]

Describe your question

In the RecommenderSerivice, we are asked to implement a method generalRecommendations(int, int). The implNote stated that Though users can like/coin/favorite a video without watching it, the rates of these values should be clamped to 1. What does it mean by clamping the rates of the values to 1?

• Does that mean if there are users who like/coin/favorite a video without watching it, then the like/coin/favorite rates for the video should be set to 1?
• Or does that mean we need to count all the like/coin/favorite without caring whether the users watch the video? Will the benchmark given produce results larger than 100%?

Thank you for your prompt responding!

@Jaredanwolfgang Just count all users who like/coin/favorite a video with/without watching it combined. These values may exceed the number of users who watched this video. In this case, the like/coin/favorite rates shall be at most 1.
