The librec-auto project aims to automate recommender system experimens using LibRec.
Project description
============ Librec-auto
About
librec-auto
is a Python tool for running recommender systems experiments.
It is built on top of the open-source LibRec_ package, and
can take advantage of the many algorithm and metric implementations there.
.. _LibRec: https://github.com/guoguibing/librec
The basic element of librec-auto
execution is the "study", which is a series
of experiments carried with a single algorithm, a single data set, and a set
of evaluation metrics. The experiments differ from each other by the hyperparameters
given to the algorithm. librec-auto
allows such studies to be conducted with
minimal experimenter intervention, and supports such capabilities as:
- recommendation result re-ranking
- re-running evaluations without re-computing results
- summarizing results in output graphs
- integration with Slack and Dropbox
Workflow
The workflow of an study involves identifying appropriate data, creating training / test splits, implementing or choosing algorithms, running experiments (possibly with a range of different parameters), and reporting on the results.
Configuration
Librec-auto uses an XML-based configuration system similar to Maven or Ant.
Project structure
This directory contains the Python libraries for the librec_auto module. There are two other affiliated respositories:
librec-auto-java
_: Contains the java source for the wrapper between LibRec and librec-auto, which is implemented in theauto.jar
file.librec-auto-sample
_: Contains sample data and configuration files that can be used to explore the functionality of librec-auto
