Response from prediction API

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I am looking to integrate prediction API as a recommendation engine for books 
on my web site. 

I was able to integrate prediction API. I can train my model and request 
prediction too.

My only problem is right now I only get single value in response from the API.  
My recommendation is based on the current selected book and its ratting, there 
should be multiple options that I can show as recommendation to the user. 

Right now for testing API I am just using test model with 5 rows to fetch and 
check the prediction.

My model contains the following data 

1.71,  "M", 1.74, 1.62 , "France" 
1.51,  "F", 1.61, 1.50 , "India" 
1.81,  "M", 1.82, 1.66 , "Norway"
1.62,  "M", 1.70, 1.60 , "Mail"
1.69,  "M", 1.74, 1.60 , "France"

For prediction  I am sending "M" as my string. I am expecting it to return 
1.71, 1.81, 1.62 and 1.69   right now I get a single value 1.62 as response.

Am I missing something here. Please let me know. Also please let me know if I 
should go with Regression or  Categorization model.  I would like to update my 
model with time from user inputs so I was thinking that I need to go with the 
Categorization model because only that will allows me to update the model later 
on dynamically. 

Regards, 
Neeraj Dev

Hi Neeraj,
This project is just for the .Net client library, it sounds like the issue you 
are having is with the service not the client library, can I suggest you have a 
look through their documentation at 
http://code.google.com/apis/predict/docs/developer-guide.html and if you do not 
find the answers there try the discusion forum at 
http://code.google.com/apis/predict/docs/general_discussion_forum.html or 
submit feedback/bug to that project at 
http://code.google.com/apis/predict/docs/feedback_and_discuss.html .

I'm sorry but as the client seems to be passing the messages between your code 
and this service sucessfuly I will close this bug as works as intended.

Thanks for taking the time to submit this feed back.

David.
