+In the following example, we load rating data from the
+[MovieLens dataset](http://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/), each row
+consisting of a user, a movie, a rating and a timestamp.
+We then train an ALS model which assumes, by default, that the ratings are
+explicit (`implicitPrefs` is `false`).
+We evaluate the recommendation model by measuring the root-mean-square error of
+rating prediction.

+If the rating matrix is derived from another source of information (i.e. it is
+inferred from other signals), you can set `implicitPrefs` to `true` to get
+better results:
