I am implementing a recommender system (python 3.9) for an online supermarket (hence users can re-order products). All the data is in the correct format which led to an interaction matrix, a weights matrix (to show the importance of some of the interactions), user features and item features.
To make sure I don't get the warning 'Test interactions matrix and train interactions matrix share .. interactions', I have excluded all the interactions from the test set. So if a user buys bananas every week, in the test set we don't have an interaction for bananas. However, we only use this for evaluating, so this should not have anything to do with the predictions.
Aside from the similar products, I was also wondering if LightFM can recommend previously bought items.
dataset = Dataset()
dataset.fit(
user_ids_train_dict.keys(), # all the users
item_ids_train_dict.keys(), # all the items
item_features = item_features, # additional item features
user_features = user_features # additional user features
)
model.fit(
interaction_matrix_train,
epochs=100,
user_features=user_features,
item_features=item_features,
sample_weight = weights_matrix_train,
num_threads=2,
verbose = True
)
# interaction matrix that only shows the items that weren't bought before
interaction_matrix_val_new = interaction_matrix_val - interaction_matrix_train
interaction_matrix_val_new[interaction_matrix_val_new < 0 ] = 0
evaluator.evaluate(
