 * extern arma::Col<size_t> users; // users seeking recommendations
 * arma::Mat<size_t> recommendations; // Recommendations
 *

 *
 * The data matrix is a (user, item, rating) table.  Each column in the matrix
 * should have three rows.  The first represents the user; the second represents
 * the item; and the third represents the rating.  The user and item, while they
 * are in a matrix that holds doubles, should hold integer (or size_t) values.
 * The user and item indices are assumed to start at 0.
 *
 * @tparam FactorizerType The type of matrix factorization to use to decompose
 *     the rating matrix (a W and H matrix).  This must implement the method
 *     Apply(arma::sp_mat& data, size_t rank, arma::mat& W, arma::mat& H).
