NeuRec

GitHub version

Founder: WuBin
Main Contributors: ZhongchuanSun XiangnanHe

NeuRec is is a flexible and comprehensive library including a variety of state-of-the-art neural recommender models. It aims to solve general and sequential (ie., next-item ) recommendation task. Current version includes 20+ neural recommendation models, and more will be be expected in the near future. NeuRec is free software (open source software), it can be used and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Architecture of NeuRec

Architecture

Features

  • Cross Platform: Written in python and easily executed in multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
  • Rich State-of-The-Arts: More than 20 neural recommender models have been implemented, eg., DeepMF, NeuMF, ConvNCF, IRGAN,APR, CFGAN, MultiVAE and more representative models will be continuously added in the NeuRec.
  • Flexible Configuration: Configs a recommendation model only using a configuration file, including any loss & optimizer.
  • Easy Expansion: Well-designed interfaces, automatic differentiation.
  • Fast Execution: Naturally support GPU, multi-thread evaluator.

Prerequisites

Our framework can be compiled on Python 3.6+ environments with the following modules installed:
  • tensorflow1.12.0+
  • numpy1.15.4+
  • scipy1.1.0+
These requirements may be satisified with an updated Anaconda environment as well - https://www.anaconda.com/

How to Run it

  • Configure the **xx.conf** file in the directory named config. (xx is the name of the algorithm you want to run)
  • Run the **main.py** in the project, and then input following the prompt.
