Description

This project implements several recommendation system algorithms and an evaluation framework for the patient-narritive dataset. Specifically, Random, UserCF, ItemCF and Pixie[1] are already implemented. The metrics are Mean Reciprocal Rank (MAP), Mean Average Precision (MAP) and Normalized Discount Cummulative Gain (NDCG).

Usage

python main.py

The main.py will run several experiments on the four policies and evaluate the average performance. The result is

$ python main.py
