    I described the details of my 7.04% solution to the Netflix Prize. My approach is to combine the results of many methods (also two-way interactions between them) using linear regression on the test set. The best method in my ensemble is regularized SVD with biases, postprocessed with kernel ridge regression (MAP estimate using Gaussian Processes) - both described in the above paper.
