The goal of this PR is to clarify/improve how to do recsys with River. There's a tutorial called
content-personalization.ipynb
which should showcase these changes. The end-goal is to look a bit more like what Vowpal Wabbit does here. We are a bit different than VW in that we have more pure recsys models (I'm thinking about FunkMF and other stuff in thereco
module) whilst less contextual bandit stuff (we have LinUCB but it's not very fast). I see a way forward to improve thereco
module so that it can do recsys by itself, whilst also allowing the use of (contextual) bandit policies.Here's a todo:
reco
module. We can rank items. We can then do sampling. But it’s not clear how to this in an optimal fashion. There needs to be some kind of exploration/exploitation tradeoff. How does Vowpal Wabbit do this?reco
module to make it usable in a recsys context.There's a quite a lot of work to do, and I'm not sure I'll have time to finish. So I'll keep this PR in draft-mode, and we'll see what happens.
