Behavior-Sequence-Transformer-Pytorch
This is a pytorch implementation for the BST model from Alibaba https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.06874.pdf
This model is a novel recommender architecture based on seq2seq models. We translate user behaviour into sequences and predict a rating for each target item (movie).
Dataset
For this implementation we used Movielens 1M Dataset that contains timestamps per each rating, making it perfect to test in the sequence recommendation model.
Running
You can run it in colab here. If you prefer to run locally the model architecture is contained on pytorch-best.ipynb
while data processing is on the prepare_data.ipynb
notebook and should be run first.
Results
Training on all-1 user ratings and leaving the latest rating for test we obtain the following results
Dataset | MAE | RMSE |
---|---|---|
Train | 0.72 | 0.84 |
Test | 0.74 | 0.93 |
Here is a screenshot of training logs we we see overfitting from epoch 12-15.
