Numba is holding back our release and continuing to be a hassle, and is also the reason why we need to maintain CSR.

Dropping the Numba dep will speed up development quite a bit, even if it slows down a few of the algorithms.

  • De-Numba User KNN
  • De-Numba Item KNN
  • De-Numba ALS
  • De-Numba FunkSVD
  • Replace CSR with SciPy sparse arrays
  • Make sure TF doesn't use the negative sampling utilities
