Maybe it's just coincidence, but the name Gorse resembles Go+Morse (http://www.fmjlang.co.uk/morse/MORSE.html), and the name Steamlens resembles like Steam+Movielens (https://movielens.org), both early recommendation systems.

Yep. SteamLens is the combination of Steam and MovieLens. However, gorse means Go recommender system engine :D

You might want to have a look at the Morse paper. It describes an algorithm which worked well, significantly better than KNN, at least on movies, using, by today's standards, a small data set. Unfortunately, when I inquired about open sourcing the code, I was told that BT had lost it. But the algorithm is described in detail in the paper.
