BPR

class openrec.legacy.recommenders.BPR(batch_size, max_user, max_item, dim_embed, test_batch_size=None, l2_reg=None, opt='SGD', lr=None, init_dict=None, sess_config=None)

Pure Baysian Personalized Ranking (BPR) [1] based Recommender

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int) – Training batch size. Each training instance consists of an user, a positive item, and a negative item.
  • max_user (int) – Maximum number of users in the recommendation system.
  • max_item (int) – Maximum number of items in the recommendation system.
  • dim_embed (int) – Dimensionality of the user/item embedding.
  • test_batch_size (int, optional) – Batch size for testing and serving. Each testing/serving bacth consists of an user.
  • l2_reg (float, optional) – Weight for L2 regularization, i.e., weight decay.
  • opt ('SGD'(default) or 'Adam', optional) – Optimization algorithm, SGD: Stochastic Gradient Descent.
  • lr (float, optional) – Initial learning rate.
  • init_dict (dict, optional) – Key-value pairs for inital parameter values.
  • sess_config (tensorflow.ConfigProto(), optional) – Tensorflow session configuration.

Notes

BPR recommender is trained on users’ implicit feedback signals (e.g., clicks and views). The items clicked or viewed are treated as positive items, and otherwise as negative items. The pure BPR recommender does not consider any other auxiliary signals.
