Requirements

pip install fuxictr

Get Started

1. Run the demo

Please follow the examples in the demo directory to get started. The code workflow is structured as follows:

# Set the data config and model config
feature_cols = [{...}] # define feature columns
label_col = {...} # define label column
params = {...} # set data params and model params

# Set the feature encoding specs
feature_encoder = FeatureEncoder(feature_cols, label_col, ...) # define the feature encoder
feature_encoder.fit(...) # fit and transfrom the data

# Load data generators
train_gen, valid_gen, test_gen = data_generator(feature_encoder, ...)

# Define a model
model = DeepFM(...)

# Train the model
model.fit_generator(train_gen, validation_data=valid_gen, ...)

# Evaluation
model.evaluate_generator(test_gen)

2. Run the benchmark with given experiment_ID

For reproducing the experiment result, you can run the benchmarking script with the corresponding config file as follows.

• --config: The config directory of data and model config files.
• --expid: The specific experiment_ID that records the detailed data and model settings.
• --gpu: The gpu index used for experiment, and -1 for CPU.

For example, DeepFM_test is an expid located in config/model_config/tests.yaml.

cd benchmarks
python run.py --config ../config --expid DeepFM_test --gpu 0

3. Tune the model hyper-parameters

For model hyper-parameters tuning, you can apply grid-search over the specified tuning space with the following script.

• --config: The config file that defines the tuning space
• --gpu: The available gpus for parameters tuning.

cd benchmarks
python run_param_tuner.py --config ./FM_criteo_x4_001/FM_criteo_x4_tuner_config_01.yaml --gpu 0
