fuxictr 1.2.1

A configurable, tunable, and reproducible library for CTR prediction

---

Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is a critical task for many industrial applications such as online advertising, recommender systems, and sponsored search. FuxiCTR provides an open-source library for CTR prediction, with key features in configurability, tunability, and reproducibility. We hope this project could benefit both researchers and practitioners with the goal of open benchmarking for CTR prediction.

This repo is the community dev version of the original release at huawei-noah/benchmark/FuxiCTR.

Key Features

• Configurable: Both data preprocessing and models are modularized and configurable.

• Tunable: Models can be automatically tuned with easy configuration.

• Reproducible: All the benchmarks can be easily reproduced.
