recpack.algorithms.TARSItemKNNCoocDistance

class recpack.algorithms.TARSItemKNNCoocDistance(K: int = 200, fit_decay: float = 1.1574074074074073e-05, decay_interval: int = 1, similarity: str = 'cooc', decay_function: str = 'exponential')

Framework for time aware variants of ItemKNN that consider the time between two interactions when computing similarity between two items.

Cooc similarity between two items is computed as

\[\text{sim}(i,j) = \sum\limits_{u \in U}[R_{ui} \cdot R_{uj} \cdot \Gamma(|T_{ui} - T_{uj}|)]\]

Conditional Probability based similarity is computed as

\[\text{sim}(i,j) = \frac{1}{\sum\limits_{u \in U}R_{ui}} \sum\limits_{u \in U}[R_{ui} \cdot R_{uj} \cdot \Gamma(|T_{ui} - T_{uj}|)]\]

Where \(\Gamma()\) is a decay function, \(T_{ui}\) is the timestamp at which user \(u\) last visited item \(i\) and \(R_{ui}\) indicates whether user \(u\) interacted with item \(i\). Timestamps are in multiples of decay_interval, by default in seconds.

Parameters
  • K (int, optional) – How many neigbours to use per item, make sure to pick a value below the number of columns of the matrix to fit on. Defaults to 200

  • fit_decay (float, optional) – Defines the decay scaling used for decay during model fitting. Defaults to 1 / (24 * 3600).

  • decay_interval (int, optional) – Size of a single time unit in seconds. Allows more finegrained parameters for large scale datasets where events are collected over months of data. Defaults to 1 (second).

  • similarity (str, optional) – Which similarity measure to use, ["cooc", "conditional_probability"] are supported. Defaults to “cooc”.

  • decay_function (str, optional) – Decay function to use. Supported values are ["exponential", "log", "linear", "concave", "convex", "inverse"]. Defaults to “exponential”

Methods

fit(X)

Fit the model to the input interaction matrix.

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

get_params([deep])

Get parameters for this estimator.

predict(X)

Predicts scores, given the interactions in X

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of the estimator.

Attributes

DECAY_FUNCTIONS

SUPPORTED_SIMILARITIES

Supported similarities are "cooc" and "conditional_probability".

identifier

Name of the object.

name

Name of the object's class.

SUPPORTED_SIMILARITIES = ['cooc', 'conditional_probability']

Supported similarities are "cooc" and "conditional_probability".

fit(X: Union[recpack.matrix.interaction_matrix.InteractionMatrix, scipy.sparse._csr.csr_matrix]) recpack.algorithms.base.Algorithm

Fit the model to the input interaction matrix.

After fitting the model will be ready to use for prediction.

This function will handle some generic bookkeeping for each of the child classes,

  • The fit function gets timed, and this will get printed

  • Input data is converted to expected type using call to _transform_predict_input()

  • The model is trained using the _fit() method

  • _check_fit_complete() is called to check fitting was succesful

Parameters

X (Matrix) – The interactions to fit the model on.

Returns

self, fitted algorithm

Return type

Algorithm

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns

routing – A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

Return type

MetadataRequest

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters

deep (bool, default=True) – If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns

params – Parameter names mapped to their values.

Return type

dict

property identifier

Name of the object.

Name is made by combining the class name with the parameters passed at construction time.

Constructed by recreating the initialisation call. Example: Algorithm(param_1=value)

property name

Name of the object’s class.

predict(X: Union[recpack.matrix.interaction_matrix.InteractionMatrix, scipy.sparse._csr.csr_matrix]) scipy.sparse._csr.csr_matrix

Predicts scores, given the interactions in X

Recommends items for each nonzero user in the X matrix.

This function is a wrapper around the _predict() method, and performs checks on in- and output data to guarantee proper computation.

  • Checks that model is fitted correctly

  • checks the output using _check_prediction() function

Parameters

X (Matrix) – interactions to predict from.

Returns

The recommendation scores in a sparse matrix format.

Return type

csr_matrix

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of the estimator.

Parameters

params (dict) – Estimator parameters
