Requirements

Python >= 2.6.1
NumPy >= 1.12.1
Pandas >= 0.20.1
TensorFlow >= 1.4.0 (Probably earlier version should work too, though I didn't test it)
GPU with memory >= 10G

Download dataset and preprocess

Step 1: Download the amazon product dataset of electronics category, which has 498,196 products and 7,824,482 records, and extract it to raw_data/ folder.

mkdir raw_data/;
cd utils;
bash 0_download_raw.sh;

Step 2: Convert raw data to pandas dataframe, and remap categorical id.

python 1_convert_pd.py;
python 2_remap_id.py

Training and Evaluation

This implementation not only contains the DIN method, but also provides all the competitors' method, including Wide&Deep, PNN, DeepFM. The training procedures of all method is as follows:

Step 1: Choose a method and enter the folder.

cd din;

Alternatively, you could also run other competitors's methods directly by cd deepFM cd pnn cd wide_deep, and follow the same instructions below.

Step 2: Building the dataset adapted to current method.

python build_dataset.py

We put a processed data 'dataset.pkl' in DeepInterestNetwork/din. Considering the GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB, we split it into 3 file aa ab ac.

cat aa ab ac > dataset.pkl

Step 3: Start training and evaluating using default arguments in background mode.

python train.py >log.txt 2>&1 &

Step 4: Check training and evaluating progress.

tail -f log.txt
tensorboard --logdir=save_path
