Bagging was surprisingly helpful. Our results now beat the original Netflix algorithm on the qualifying set, but just barely miss the cutoff to qualify for a progress prize. Which doesn't really matter, because we're lightyears behind the leaders.
The moral of the story is that the original Netflix algorithm can't be that great. It's really hard to believe that it was ten years in the making.

I figure this comment was made on the wrong post, so I took the liberty of copying it over to the other.
Also, thanks, and I apologize if I made future-Jurvis' life harder :-)
