Detailed Description

Constant item recommender for use as experimental baseline. Always predicts a score of zero.

This recommender can be used for debugging, e.g. to detect non-random orderings in item lists.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool CanPredict	(	int	user_id,
		int	item_id
	)			[virtual, inherited]

Check whether a useful prediction can be made for a given user-item combination.

Parameters:

	user_id	the user ID
	item_id	the item ID

Returns:

true if a useful prediction can be made, false otherwise

Implements IRecommender.

Object Clone

(

)

[inherited]

create a shallow copy of the object

override void LoadModel

(

string

filename

)

[virtual]

Get the model parameters from a file.

Parameters:

filename

the name of the file to read from

Implements ItemRecommender.

override double Predict	(	int	user_id,
		int	item_id
	)			[virtual]

Predict rating or score for a given user-item combination.

Parameters:

	user_id	the user ID
	item_id	the item ID

Returns:

the predicted score/rating for the given user-item combination

Implements ItemRecommender.

override void SaveModel

(

string

filename

)

[virtual]

Save the model parameters to a file.

Parameters:

filename

the name of the file to write to

Implements ItemRecommender.

override string ToString

(

)

[inherited]

Return a string representation of the recommender.

The ToString() method of recommenders should list the class name and all hyperparameters, separated by space characters.

Implements IRecommender.
