Since v1.1, we scale the regularization parameter `lambda` in solving each least squares problem by
the number of ratings the user generated in updating user factors,
or the number of ratings the product received in updating product factors.
This approach is named "ALS-WR" and introduced in the paper
"[Large-Scale Parallel Collaborative Filtering for the Netflix Prize](http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-68880-8_32)".
It makes `lambda` less dependent on the scale of the dataset.
So we can apply the best parameter learned from a sampled subset to the full dataset
and expect similar performance.
