Recommend

Simple recommendatnion system implementation with Python

Current model:

Probabilistic Matrix Factorization
Bayesian Matrix Factorization
Alternating Least Squares with Weighted Lambda Regularization (ALS-WR)

Install:

# clone repoisitory
git clone git@github.com:chyikwei/recommend.git
cd recommend

# install numpy & scipy
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .

Getting started:

To run BPMF with MovieLens 1M dataset: First, download MovieLens 1M dataset and unzip it (data will be in ml-1m folder). Then run:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from recommend.bpmf import BPMF
>>> from recommend.utils.evaluation import RMSE
>>> from recommend.utils.datasets import load_movielens_1m_ratings

# load user ratings
>>> ratings = load_movielens_1m_ratings('ml-1m/ratings.dat')
>>> n_user = max(ratings[:, 0])
>>> n_item = max(ratings[:, 1])
>>> ratings[:, (0, 1)] -= 1 # shift ids by 1 to let user_id & movie_id start from 0

# fit model
>>> bpmf = BPMF(n_user=n_user, n_item=n_item, n_feature=10,
                max_rating=5., min_rating=1., seed=0).fit(ratings, n_iters=20)
>>> RMSE(bpmf.predict(ratings[:, :2]), ratings[:,2]) # training RMSE
0.79784331768263683

# predict ratings for user 0 and item 0 to 9:
>>> bpmf.predict(np.array([[0, i] for i in xrange(10)]))
array([ 4.35574067,  3.60580936,  3.77778456,  3.4479072 ,  3.60901065,
        4.29750917,  3.66302187,  4.43915423,  3.85788772,  4.02423073])

Complete example can be found in examples/ folder. The script will download MovieLens 1M dataset automatically, run PMF(BPMF) model and show training/validation RMSE.

Running Test:

python setup.py test

or run test with coverage:

coverage run --source=recommend setup.py test
coverage report -m

Uninstall:

pip uninstall recommend

Notes:

Old version code can be found in v0.0.1. It contains a Probabilistic Matrix Factorization model with theano implementation.
