LR is a context-based recommendation model. It aims to predict the CTR given a set of features by using logistic regression, which is ideally suited for probabilities as it always predicts a value between 0 and 1:

\begin{align}\begin{aligned}CTR = \frac{1}{1+e^{-Z}}\\Z = \sum_{i} {w_i}{x_i}\end{aligned}\end{align}
calculate_loss(interaction)[source]

Calculate the training loss for a batch data.

Parameters

interaction (Interaction) – Interaction class of the batch.

Returns

Training loss, shape: []

Return type

torch.Tensor

forward(interaction)[source]

Defines the computation performed at every call.

Should be overridden by all subclasses.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.

predict(interaction)[source]

Predict the scores between users and items.

Parameters

interaction (Interaction) – Interaction class of the batch.

Returns

Predicted scores for given users and items, shape: [batch_size]

Return type

torch.Tensor

training: bool
