I think this particular technique is called "ALS-WR", at least, that's how I know of it from this paper: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Robert_Schreiber/papers/2008%20AAIM%20Netflix/netflix_aaim08(submitted).pdf You could add a mention of this.

This technique was used by many groups in the Netflix Prize (see section 5 of this paper for some more references: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~rsalakhu/papers/weighted_tc.pdf). Perhaps this sentence should be changed to "This approach is discussed in the following paper..."
