class recbole.model.general_recommender.itemknn.ComputeSimilarity(dataMatrix, topk=100, shrink=0, normalize=True)

Bases: object

compute_similarity(method, block_size=100)

Compute the similarity for the given dataset

Parameters

• method (str) – Caculate the similarity of users if method is ‘user’, otherwise, calculate the similarity of items.

• block_size (int) – divide matrix to \(n\_rows \div block\_size\) to calculate cosine_distance if method is ‘user’, otherwise, divide matrix to \(n\_columns \div block\_size\).

Returns

The similar nodes, if method is ‘user’, the shape is [number of users, neigh_num], else, the shape is [number of items, neigh_num]. scipy.sparse.csr_matrix: sparse matrix W, if method is ‘user’, the shape is [self.n_rows, self.n_rows], else, the shape is [self.n_columns, self.n_columns].

class recbole.model.general_recommender.itemknn.ItemKNN(config, dataset)

Bases: recbole.model.abstract_recommender.GeneralRecommender

ItemKNN is a basic model that compute item similarity with the interaction matrix.

calculate_loss(interaction)

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(user, item)

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.

full_sort_predict(interaction)

full sort prediction function. Given users, calculate the scores between users and all candidate items.

Parameters

interaction (Interaction) – Interaction class of the batch.

Returns

Predicted scores for given users and all candidate items, shape: [n_batch_users * n_candidate_items]

Return type

torch.Tensor

input_type = 1

predict(interaction)

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

type = 5
