kandi X-RAY | rsparse Summary

rsparse is a R library typically used in Artificial Intelligence, Recommender System applications. rsparse has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

rsparse is an R package for statistical learning primarily on sparse matrices - matrix factorizations, factorization machines, out-of-core regression. Many of the implemented algorithms are particularly useful for recommender systems and NLP. We've paid some attention to the implementation details - we try to avoid data copies, utilize multiple threads via OpenMP and use SIMD where appropriate. Package allows to work on datasets with millions of rows and millions of columns.

            Dataframe users who did not purchase item for user-item collaborative filtering
            Asked 2022-Mar-05 at 12:35

            I intend to use a hybrid user-item collaborative filtering to build a Top-N recommender system with TensorFlow Keras

            currently my dataframe consist of |user_id|article_id|purchase

            purchase is always TRUE because the dataset is a history of user - article purchases

            This dataset has 800,000 rows and 3 columns

            2 Questions
            1. How do I process it such that I will have 20% purchase = true and 80% purchase = false to train the model?

            2. Is a 20%, 80% true:false ratio good for this use case?

            ...

            1. How do I process it such that I will have 20% purchase = true and 80% purchase = false to train the model?

            Since you only have True values, it means that you'll have to generate the False values. The only False that you know of are the user-item interactions that are not present in your table. If your known interactions can be represented as a sparse matrix (meaning, a low percentage of the possible interactions, N_ITEMS x N_USER, is present) then you can do this:

            1. Generate a random user-item combination
            2. If the user-item interaction exists, means is True, then repeat step 1.
            3. If the user-item interaction does not exist, you can consider it a False interaction.

            Now, to complete your 20%/80% part, just define the size N of the sample that you'll take from your ground truth data (True values) and take 4*N False values using the previous steps. Remember to keep some ground truth values for your test and evaluation steps.

            1. Is a 20%, 80% true:false ratio good for this use case?

            In this case, since you only have True values in your ground truth dataset, I think the best you can do is to try out different ratios. Your real world data only contains True values, but you could also generate all of the False values. The important part to consider is that some of the values that you'll consider False while training might actually be True values in your test and validation data. Just don't use all of your ground truth data, and don't generate an important portion of the possible combinations.

            I think a good start could be 50/50, then try 60/40 and so on. Evaluate using multiple metrics, see how are they changing according to the proportion of True/False values (some proportions might be better to reach higher true positive rates, other will perform worse, etc). In the end, you'll have to select one model and one training procedure according to the metrics that matter the most to you.

            I came to the conclusion that I didn't need to deploy this through SageMaker. Since the final linear_kernel output was a Dictionary I could do quick ID lookups to find correlations.

            I have it working on AWS with API Gateway/Lambda, DynamoDB and an EC2 server to collect, process and plug the data into DynamoDB for fast lookups. No expensive SageMaker endpoint needed.

            What does .nonzero()[0] mean when we want to compute the sparsity of a matrix?
            Asked 2021-Oct-18 at 17:43

            I am trying to learn about recommender systems in Python by reading a blog that contains a great example of creating a recommender system of repositories in GitHub.

            Once the dataset is loaded with read_csv(), the person that wrote the code decided to convert that data into a pivot_table pandas for visualizing the data in a more simple way. Here, I left you an image of that part of the code for simplicity:

            enter image description here

            In that table, rows are the users and columns are the repositories. The cross section between a row and a column is the punctuation that a user gives to a particular repository.

            Due to the fact that many of the elements of that table are null (we can say that we are having a sparse matrix, very typical in machine learning), he decided to study the level of sparsity of the matrix by means of this code:

            By default, nonzero will return a tuple of the form (row_idxs, col_idxs). If you hand it a one-dimensional array (like a pandas series), then it will still return a tuple, (row_idxs,). To access this first array, we still must index ratings.nonzero()[0] to get the first-dimension index of nonzero elements.

            More info available on the numpy page for nonzero here, as both pandas and numpy use the same implementation.

            How can I ensure that all users and all items appear in the training set of my recommender system?
            Asked 2021-Jun-11 at 20:37

            I am building a recommender system in Python using the MovieLens dataset (https://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/latest/). In order for my system to work correctly, I need all the users and all the items to appear in the training set. However, I have not found a way to do that yet. I tried using sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split on the partition of the dataset relevant to each user and then concatenated the results, thus succeeding in creating training and test datasets that contain at least one rating given by each user. What I need now is to find a way to create training and test datasets that also contain at least one rating for each movie.

            This requirement is quite reasonable, but is not supported by the data ingestion routines for any framework I know. Most training paradigms presume that your data set is populated sufficiently that there is a negligible chance of missing any one input or output.

            Since you need to guarantee this, you need to switch to an algorithmic solution, rather than a probabilistic one. I suggest that you tag each observation with the input and output, and then apply the "set coverage problem" to the data set.

            You can continue with as many distinct covering sets as needed to populate your training set (which I recommend). Alternately, you can set a lower threshold of requirement -- say get three sets of total coverage -- and then revert to random methods for the remainder.

            The most likely cause of this problem is that the user-user recommender cannot build enough viable neighborhoods to provide recommendations. This is a downside to neighborhood-based recommendations.

            The solutions are to either switch to an algorithm that can always recommend for a user with some ratings (e.g. one of the matrix factorization algorithms), and/or use a fallback algorithm such as Popular to recommend when the personalized collaborative filter cannot recommend.

            (Another solution would be to implement one of the various cold-start recommenders or a content-based recommender for LensKit, but none are currently provided by the project.)

            There's a bulk contiguous vector structure initially created by training, for the initial known set of vectors. It's amenable to the every-candidate bulk vector calculation at the heart of most_similar() - so that operation goes about as fast as it can, with the right vector libraries for your OS/processor.

            But, that structure wasn't originally designed with incremental expansion in mind. Indeed, if you have 1 million vectors in a dense array, then want to add 1 to the end, the straightforward approach requires you to allocate a new 1-million-and-1 long array, bulk copy over the 1 million, then add the last 1. That works, but what seems like a "tiny" operation then takes a while, and ever-longer as the structure grows. And, each add more-than-doubles the temporary memory usage, for the bulk copy. So, the naive pattern of adding a whole bunch of new items individuall in a loop can be really slow & memory-intensive.

            So, Gensim hasn't yet focused on providing a set-of-vectors that's easy & efficient to incrementally grow with new vectors. But, it's still indirectly possible, if you understand the caveats.

            Especially in gensim-4.0.0 & above, the .dv set of doc-vectors is an instance of KeyedVectors with all that class's standard functions. Thos include the add_vector() and add_vectors() methods:

            https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/keyedvectors.html#gensim.models.keyedvectors.KeyedVectors.add_vector

            https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/keyedvectors.html#gensim.models.keyedvectors.KeyedVectors.add_vectors

            You can try these methods to add your new inferred vectors to the model.dv object - and then they'll also be ncluded in folloup most_similar() results.

            But keep in mind:

            1. The above caveats about performance & memory-usage - which may be minor concerns as long as your dataset isn't too large, or manageable if you do additions in occasional larger batches.

            2. The containing Doc2Vec model generally isn't expecting its internal .dv to be arbitrarily modified or expanded by other code. So, once you start doing that, parts of the model may not behave as expected. If you have problems with this, you could consider saving-aside the full Doc2Vec model before any direct-tampering with its .dv, and/or only expanding a completely separate instance of the doc-vectors, for example by saving them aside (eg: model.dv.save(DOC_VECS_FILENAME)) & reloading them into a separate KeyedVectors (eg: growing_docvecs = KeyedVectors.load(DOC_VECS_FILENAME)).
