A Random algorithm was added as a General Recommender for baseline purposes.
The Random algorithm recommends random items for each user. The motivation behind this approach is to create 2 baselines:
Coverage
metric: a random algorithm tends to have a high Item Space Coverage.Ranking
/Rating
metrics: any recommender algorithm should outperform a random approach in terms o ranking and rating metrics.The inclusion of the Random class provides easier comparison in terms of the aforementioned metrics
