No coordinate descent solver available #160

Closed christianll9 closed 3 years ago

christianll9 commented 3 years ago

In the README.rst it says:

fastFM provides stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and coordinate descent (CD) optimization routines as well as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for Bayesian inference.

But I could only find SGD, ALS and MCMC solvers in the documentation. Is there no CD solver yet?

@christian96l

I guess the README is a bit unclear at this point. CD and ALS are actually the same solver. BTW our rewrite supports CD regression https://github.com/palaimon/fastfm2. So this might me an alternative if that's all you need.
