Detailed Description

Abstract class for rating predictors that keep the rating data in memory for training (and possibly prediction)


Member Function Documentation

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

Implements IRecommender.

Reimplemented in BiPolarSlopeOne, SlopeOne, Constant, GlobalAverage, UserAverage, ItemAverage, and Random.

Object Clone ( ) [inline, inherited]

virtual void LoadModel ( string  filename) [inline, virtual, inherited]
abstract float Predict ( int  user_id,
int  item_id 
) [pure virtual, inherited]
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.
