Detailed Description

Interface for recommenders that take binary item attributes into account

Member Function Documentation

bool CanPredict ( int  user_id,
int  item_id 
)
inherited

Check whether a useful prediction (i.e. not using a fallback/default answer) can be made for a given user-item combination

It is up to the recommender implementor to decide when a prediction is useful, and to document it accordingly.

Parameters
user_idthe user ID
item_idthe item ID
Returns
true if a useful prediction can be made, false otherwise

Implemented in Ensemble, ExternalItemRecommender, ExternalRatingPredictor, BiPolarSlopeOne, Recommender, SlopeOne, Constant, GlobalAverage, UserAverage, ItemAverage, and Random.

IList<Tuple<int, float> > Recommend ( int  user_id,
int  n = -1,
ICollection< int >  ignore_items = null,
ICollection< int >  candidate_items = null 
)
inherited

Recommend items for a given user

Parameters
user_idthe user ID
nthe number of items to recommend, -1 for as many as possible
ignore_itemscollection if items that should not be returned; if null, use empty collection
candidate_itemsthe candidate items to choose from; if null, use all items
Returns
a sorted list of (item_id, score) tuples

Implemented in WeightedEnsemble, and Ensemble.
