CORE
This is the official PyTorch implementation for the paper:
Yupeng Hou, Binbin Hu, Zhiqiang Zhang, Wayne Xin Zhao. CORE: Simple and Effective Session-based Recommendation within Consistent Representation Space. SIGIR 2022 short.
Overview
We argue that session embedding encoded by non-linear encoder is usually not in the same representation space as item embeddings, resulting in the inconsistent prediction issue. In this work, we aim at unifying the representation space throughout the encoding and decoding process in session-based recommendation, and propose a simple and effective framework named CORE.
Requirements
recbole>=1.0.0
python==3.7
pytorch==1.7.1
cudatoolkit==10.1
Datasets
you can download the processed datasets from Google Drive. Then,
mv DATASET.zip dataset
unzip DATASET.zip
DATASET
can be one of
diginetica

Reproduction
python main.py --model MODEL --dataset DATASET
MODEL
can be one of

Results
Here we show results on Diginetica for example, other results can be found in our paper.
Note that we use a more standard and unified pipeline for fair evaluation and preventing overfitting.
We split the sessions in each dataset into train/validation/test set in temporal order in a ratio of 8:1:1. We report results on the test set with models that gain the highest performance on the validation set.
