WideDeep is a context-based recommendation model. It jointly trains wide linear models and deep neural networks to combine the benefits of memorization and generalization for recommender systems. The wide component is a generalized linear model of the form $$y = w^Tx + b$$. The deep component is a feed-forward neural network. The wide component and deep component are combined using a weighted sum of their output log odds as the prediction, which is then fed to one common logistic loss function for joint training.

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
