LensKit Recommender 仅为某些用户提供 returns 个结果,否则 returns 个空 DataFrame。为什么会这样?

LensKit Recommender only returns results for some users, otherwise returns empty DataFrame. Why is this happening?

我正在尝试使用 Django 框架实现群组推荐系统,使用 Python 的 LensKit 工具(特别是适应 UserUser 算法的推荐对象)。但是,它在某些情况下(对于某些特定用户)仅 returns 个人推荐,但它总是 returns 对用户组的建议(我创建了一个混合用户,其分数是组成员分数的平均值并请求建议)。下面是我为单个用户和组请求推荐的实现:

        "no_ratings": 324,
        "poster": "/default-movie.jpg"
    },
    ...

无效响应:

[]

在后一种情况下,打印 Recommender 返回的 DataFrame 显示:

Empty DataFrame
Columns: [item, score]
Index: []

我不确定我做错了什么。有人可以帮忙吗?

导致此问题的最可能原因是用户-用户推荐器无法构建足够多的可行社区来提供推荐。这是基于社区的推荐的缺点。

解决方案要么切换到始终可以向具有某些评级的用户推荐的算法(例如矩阵分解算法之一),and/or 使用后备算法,例如 Popular在个性化协同过滤器无法推荐时进行推荐。

(另一种解决方案是为 LensKit 实施各种冷启动推荐器或基于内容的推荐器,但 none 目前由该项目提供。)
