Member Function Documentation

override bool CanPredict ( int  user_id,
int  item_id 
) [inline, virtual]

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

Reimplemented from RatingPredictor.

Object Clone (  )  [inline, inherited]

create a shallow copy of the object

override void LoadModel ( string  filename  )  [inline, virtual]

Get the model parameters from a file.

Parameters:
filename the name of the file to read from

Implements RatingPredictor.

override double Predict ( int  user_id,
int  item_id 
) [inline, 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 RatingPredictor.

override void SaveModel ( string  filename  )  [inline, virtual]

Save the model parameters to a file.

Parameters:
filename the name of the file to write to

Implements RatingPredictor.

override string ToString (  )  [inline, 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.
