reco

a simple yet versatile recommendation systems library in python

Currently it has:

  1. user-user / item-item collaborative filtering
  2. SVD ( based on scipy's implementation )
  3. Simon Funk's SVD
  4. Factorization Machine
  5. Wide and Deep Network

Install the latest version by running

pip install git+https://github.com/mayukh18/reco.git

Or you can install (old version) from PyPI by running

pip install reco

Two small examples to get you started

FunkSVD

from reco.recommender import FunkSVD
from reco.metrics import rmse
from reco.datasets import loadMovieLens100k

train, test, _, _ = loadMovieLens100k(train_test_split=True)

f = FunkSVD(k=64, learning_rate=0.002, regularizer = 0.05, iterations = 150, method = 'stochastic', bias=True)

# fits the model to the data
f.fit(X=train, formatizer={'user':'userId', 'item':'itemId', 'value':'rating'},verbose=True)

# predicts the ratings from the test set
preds = f.predict(X=test, formatizer={'user':'userId', 'item':'itemId'})
print(rmse(preds, list(test['rating']))

SVDRecommender

from reco.recommender import SVDRecommender
from reco.datasets import loadMovieLens100k
from reco.metrics import rmse

train, test, _, _ = loadMovieLens100k(train_test_split=True)

svd = SVDRecommender(no_of_features=8)

# Creates the user-item matrix, the userIds on the rows and the itemIds on the columns.
user_item_matrix, users, items = svd.create_utility_matrix(train, formatizer={'user':'userId', 'item':'itemId', 'value':'rating'})

# fits the svd model to the matrix data.
svd.fit(user_item_matrix, users, items)

# predict the ratings from test set
preds = svd.predict(test, formatizer = {'user':'userId', 'item': 'itemId'})
print(rmse(preds, list(test['rating'])))

test_users = [1, 65, 444, 321]
# recommends 4 undiscovered items per each user
results = svd.recommend(test_users, N=4)

# outputs 5 most similar users to user with userId 65
similars = svd.topN_similar(x=65, N=5, column='user')
