Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Default constructor.


Member Function Documentation

virtual void AddRatings ( IRatings  ratings) [inline, virtual]

Add new ratings and perform incremental training.

Parameters:
ratingsthe ratings

Implements IIncrementalRatingPredictor.

Reimplemented in MatrixFactorization, UserItemBaseline, ItemKNN, UserKNN, UserAverage, GlobalAverage, and ItemAverage.

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, Constant, SlopeOne, GlobalAverage, UserAverage, ItemAverage, and Random.

Object Clone ( ) [inline, inherited]

create a shallow copy of the object

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

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

Parameters:
user_idthe user ID
item_idthe item ID
Returns:
the predicted score/rating for the given user-item combination

Implements IRecommender.

Implemented in BiasedMatrixFactorization, LatentFeatureLogLinearModel, TimeAwareBaseline, MatrixFactorization, FactorWiseMatrixFactorization, UserItemBaseline, CoClustering, SVDPlusPlus, SigmoidCombinedAsymmetricFactorModel, SigmoidSVDPlusPlus, SigmoidItemAsymmetricFactorModel, SigmoidUserAsymmetricFactorModel, BiPolarSlopeOne, SlopeOne, ItemKNN, Constant, UserKNN, GlobalAverage, UserAverage, ItemAverage, and Random.

virtual void RemoveItem ( int  item_id) [inline, virtual]

Remove an item from the recommender model, and delete all ratings of this item.

It is up to the recommender implementor whether there should be model updates after this action, both options are valid.

Parameters:
item_idthe ID of the user to be removed

Implements IIncrementalRatingPredictor.

Reimplemented in BiasedMatrixFactorization, MatrixFactorization, and ItemAverage.

virtual void RemoveRatings ( IDataSet  ratings) [inline, virtual]

Remove existing ratings and perform "incremental" training.

Parameters:
ratingsthe user and item IDs of the ratings to be removed

Implements IIncrementalRatingPredictor.

Reimplemented in MatrixFactorization, UserItemBaseline, ItemKNN, UserKNN, UserAverage, ItemAverage, and GlobalAverage.

virtual void RemoveUser ( int  user_id) [inline, virtual]

Remove a user from the recommender model, and delete all their ratings.

It is up to the recommender implementor whether there should be model updates after this action, both options are valid.

Parameters:
user_idthe ID of the user to be removed

Implements IIncrementalRatingPredictor.

Reimplemented in BiasedMatrixFactorization, MatrixFactorization, and UserAverage.

virtual void SaveModel ( string  filename) [inline, virtual, inherited]
override string ToString ( ) [inline, inherited]
virtual void UpdateRatings ( IRatings  ratings) [inline, virtual]

Update existing ratings and perform incremental training.

Parameters:
ratingsthe ratings

Implements IIncrementalRatingPredictor.

Reimplemented in MatrixFactorization, UserItemBaseline, ItemKNN, UserKNN, UserAverage, GlobalAverage, and ItemAverage.
