Compute the item recommendation score for unseen users whose profiles are given as another user-item relation matrix.

Parameters:

X (Union[csr_matrix, csc_matrix]) – The profile user-item relation matrix for unseen users. Its number of rows is arbitrary, but the number of columns must be self.n_items.

get_score_cold_user_remove_seen(X)[source]

Compute the item recommendation score for unseen users whose profiles are given as another user-item relation matrix. The score will then be masked by the input.

Parameters:

learn_with_optimizer(evaluator, trial, max_epoch=128, validate_epoch=5, score_degradation_max=5)[source]

Learning procedures with early stopping and pruning.

Parameters:

  • evaluator (Optional[evaluation.Evaluator]) – The evaluator to measure the score.

  • trial (Optional[Trial]) – The current optuna trial under the study (if any.)

  • max_epoch (int) – Maximal number of epochs. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored. Defaults to 128.

  • validate_epoch (int) – The frequency of validation score measurement. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored. Defaults to 5.

  • validate_epoch – The frequency of validation score measurement. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored. Defaults to 5.

  • score_degradation_max (int) – Maximal number of allowed score degradation. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored. Defaults to 5.

Return type:

None

classmethod tune(data, evaluator, n_trials=20, timeout=None, data_suggest_function=None, parameter_suggest_function=None, fixed_params={}, random_seed=None, prunning_n_startup_trials=10, max_epoch=128, validate_epoch=5, score_degradation_max=5, logger=None)[source]

Perform the optimization step. optuna.Study object is created inside this function.

Parameters:

  • data (Optional[Union[csr_matrix, csc_matrix]]) – The training data. You can also provide tunable parameter dependent training data by providing data_suggest_function. In that case, data must be None.

  • evaluator (evaluation.Evaluator) – The validation evaluator that measures the performance of the recommenders.

  • n_trials (int) – The number of expected trials (including pruned ones). Defaults to 20.

  • timeout (Optional[int]) – If set to some value (in seconds), the study will exit after that time period. Note that the running trials is not interrupted, though. Defaults to None.

  • data_suggest_function (Optional[Callable[[Trial], Union[csr_matrix, csc_matrix]]]) – If not None, this must be a function which takes optuna.Trial as its argument and returns training data. Defaults to None.

  • parameter_suggest_function (Optional[Callable[[Trial], Dict[str, Any]]]) – If not None, this must be a function which takes optuna.Trial as its argument and returns Dict[str, Any] (i.e., some keyword arguments of the recommender class). If None, cls.default_suggest_parameter will be used for the parameter suggestion. Defaults to None.

  • fixed_params (Dict[str, Any]) – Fixed parameters passed to recommenders during the optimization procedure. This will replace the suggested parameter (either by cls.default_suggest_parameter or parameter_suggest_function). Defaults to dict().

  • random_seed (Optional[int]) – The random seed to control optuna.samplers.TPESampler. Defaults to None.

  • prunning_n_startup_trials (int) – n_startup_trials argument passed to the constructor of optuna.pruners.MedianPruner.

  • max_epoch (int) – The maximal number of epochs for the training. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored.

  • validate_epoch (int, optional) – The frequency of validation score measurement. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored. Defaults to 5.

  • score_degradation_max (int, optional) – Maximal number of allowed score degradation. If iterative learning procedure is not available, this parameter will be ignored. Defaults to 5. Defaults to 5.

  • logger (Optional[Logger]) –

Returns:

A tuple that consists of

  1. A dict containing the best paramaters. This dict can be passed to the recommender as **kwargs.

  2. A pandas.DataFrame that contains the history of optimization.

Return type:

Tuple[Dict[str, Any], DataFrame]
