Hello recommender engine enthusiasts,

Just completely accidentally came across this great answer from Xavier on quora on the topic of evaluating the recommender systems and the importance of A/B testing. Here is the link https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-measure-and-evaluate-the-quality-of-recommendation-engines
