Mahout推荐之ItemBased
一、 算法原理
(一) 基本原理
如下图评分矩阵所示：行为user，列为item.
图（1）
该算法的原理：
1. 计算Item之间的相似度。
2. 对用户U做推荐
公式(一)
Map tmp ;
Map tmp1 ;
for(item a in userRatedItems){
rate =userforItemRate(a)
ListsimItem =getSimItem(a);
For(Jin simItem){
Item b =j;
Simab=sim(a,b);
Tmp.add(b,Tmp .get(b)+simab*rate)
tmp1.add(b, tmp1.get(b)+simab)
}
}
Maptmp2=temp/temp1
Sortbyval(tmp2)
return topK(tmp2,k)
(二) 相似度计算
1. Cos相似度
公式（二）
2. 皮尔逊相似度
公式（三）
3. 调整的cos相似度
公式（四）
(三) 采样
计算全量的itemPair之间的相似度耗费大量的时间，也是没有必要的，所以需要采样,减小计算量。
二、 单机模式实现
(一) 候选Item搜索
计算所有Item Pair之间的相似度在单机模式下是不现实的，需要在海量的候选集中搜索出一部分最有可能的候选集用于计算。Mahout提供了4中候选Item选择策略。
1. AllSimilarItemsCandidateItemsStrategy
|
@Override FastIDSet doGetCandidateItems(long[] preferredItemIDs, DataModel dataModel) throws TasteException { FastIDSet candidateItemIDs = new FastIDSet(); for (long itemID : preferredItemIDs) { candidateItemIDs.addAll(similarity.allSimilarItemIDs(itemID)); } candidateItemIDs.removeAll(preferredItemIDs); return candidateItemIDs; } |
2. AllUnknownItemsCandidateItemsStrategy
|
@Override protected FastIDSet doGetCandidateItems(long[] preferredItemIDs, DataModel dataModel) throws TasteException { FastIDSet possibleItemIDs = new FastIDSet(dataModel.getNumItems()); LongPrimitiveIterator allItemIDs = dataModel.getItemIDs(); while (allItemIDs.hasNext()) { possibleItemIDs.add(allItemIDs.nextLong()); } possibleItemIDs.removeAll(preferredItemIDs); return possibleItemIDs; } |
3. PreferredItemsNeighborhoodCandidateItemsStrategy
|
@Override protected FastIDSet doGetCandidateItems(long[] preferredItemIDs, DataModel dataModel) throws TasteException { FastIDSet possibleItemsIDs = new FastIDSet(); for (long itemID : preferredItemIDs) { PreferenceArray itemPreferences = dataModel.getPreferencesForItem(itemID); int numUsersPreferringItem = itemPreferences.length(); for (int index = 0; index < numUsersPreferringItem; index++) { possibleItemsIDs.addAll(dataModel.getItemIDsFromUser(itemPreferences.getUserID(index))); } } possibleItemsIDs.removeAll(preferredItemIDs); return possibleItemsIDs; } |
4. SamplingCandidateItemsStrategy
|
private static int computeMaxFrom(int factor, int numThings) { if (factor == NO_LIMIT_FACTOR) { return MAX_LIMIT; } long max = (long) (factor * (1.0 + Math.log(numThings) / LOG2)); return max > MAX_LIMIT ? MAX_LIMIT : (int) max; }
@Override protected FastIDSet doGetCandidateItems(long[] preferredItemIDs, DataModel dataModel) throws TasteException { LongPrimitiveIterator preferredItemIDsIterator = new LongPrimitiveArrayIterator(preferredItemIDs); if (preferredItemIDs.length > maxItems) { double samplingRate = (double) maxItems / preferredItemIDs.length; // log.info("preferredItemIDs.length {}, samplingRate {}", preferredItemIDs.length, samplingRate); preferredItemIDsIterator = new SamplingLongPrimitiveIterator(preferredItemIDsIterator, samplingRate); } FastIDSet possibleItemsIDs = new FastIDSet(); while (preferredItemIDsIterator.hasNext()) { long itemID = preferredItemIDsIterator.nextLong(); PreferenceArray prefs = dataModel.getPreferencesForItem(itemID); int prefsLength = prefs.length(); if (prefsLength > maxUsersPerItem) { Iterator<Preference> sampledPrefs = new FixedSizeSamplingIterator<Preference>(maxUsersPerItem, prefs.iterator()); while (sampledPrefs.hasNext()) { addSomeOf(possibleItemsIDs, dataModel.getItemIDsFromUser(sampledPrefs.next().getUserID())); } } else { for (int i = 0; i < prefsLength; i++) { addSomeOf(possibleItemsIDs, dataModel.getItemIDsFromUser(prefs.getUserID(i))); } } } possibleItemsIDs.removeAll(preferredItemIDs); return possibleItemsIDs; }
private void addSomeOf(FastIDSet possibleItemIDs, FastIDSet itemIDs) { if (itemIDs.size() > maxItemsPerUser) { LongPrimitiveIterator it = new SamplingLongPrimitiveIterator(itemIDs.iterator(), (double) maxItemsPerUser / itemIDs.size()); while (it.hasNext()) { possibleItemIDs.add(it.nextLong()); } } else { possibleItemIDs.addAll(itemIDs); } } |
(二) 估值
|
protected float doEstimatePreference(long userID, PreferenceArray preferencesFromUser, long itemID) throws TasteException { double preference = 0.0; double totalSimilarity = 0.0; int count = 0; double[] similarities = similarity.itemSimilarities(itemID, preferencesFromUser.getIDs()); for (int i = 0; i < similarities.length; i++) { double theSimilarity = similarities[i]; if (!Double.isNaN(theSimilarity)) { // Weights can be negative! preference += theSimilarity * preferencesFromUser.getValue(i); totalSimilarity += theSimilarity; count++; } } // Throw out the estimate if it was based on no data points, of course, but also if based on // just one. This is a bit of a band-aid on the 'stock' item-based algorithm for the moment. // The reason is that in this case the estimate is, simply, the user's rating for one item // that happened to have a defined similarity. The similarity score doesn't matter, and that // seems like a bad situation. if (count <= 1) { return Float.NaN; } float estimate = (float) (preference / totalSimilarity); if (capper != null) { estimate = capper.capEstimate(estimate); } return estimate; } |
(三) 推荐
1. 根据历史评分列表推荐
这种推荐方式根据用户之前产生过评分的item做推荐，推荐结果按照估计值的大小排序。
|
@Override public List<RecommendedItem> recommend(long userID, int howMany, IDRescorer rescorer) throws TasteException { Preconditions.checkArgument(howMany >= 1, "howMany must be at least 1"); log.debug("Recommending items for user ID '{}'", userID); PreferenceArray preferencesFromUser = getDataModel().getPreferencesFromUser(userID); if (preferencesFromUser.length() == 0) { return Collections.emptyList(); } FastIDSet possibleItemIDs = getAllOtherItems(userID, preferencesFromUser); TopItems.Estimator<Long> estimator = new Estimator(userID, preferencesFromUser); List<RecommendedItem> topItems = TopItems.getTopItems(howMany, possibleItemIDs.iterator(), rescorer, estimator); log.debug("Recommendations are: {}", topItems); return topItems; } |
2. Because推荐
这种推荐方式用于实时推荐。
|
@Override public List<RecommendedItem> recommendedBecause(long userID, long itemID, int howMany) throws TasteException { Preconditions.checkArgument(howMany >= 1, "howMany must be at least 1"); DataModel model = getDataModel(); TopItems.Estimator<Long> estimator = new RecommendedBecauseEstimator(userID, itemID); PreferenceArray prefs = model.getPreferencesFromUser(userID); int size = prefs.length(); FastIDSet allUserItems = new FastIDSet(size); for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { allUserItems.add(prefs.getItemID(i)); } allUserItems.remove(itemID); return TopItems.getTopItems(howMany, allUserItems.iterator(), null, estimator); }
//估值方法 @Override public double estimate(Long itemID) throws TasteException { Float pref = getDataModel().getPreferenceValue(userID, itemID); if (pref == null) { return Float.NaN; } double similarityValue = similarity.itemSimilarity(recommendedItemID, itemID); return (1.0 + similarityValue) * pref; } |
三、 MapReduce模式实现
(一) 将偏好文件转换成评分矩阵(PreparePreferenceMatrixJob)
(二) 计算共现矩阵相似度（RowSimilarityJob）
(三) 挑选最相似的K个Item
(四) 用户偏好向量和相似降维后的共现矩阵做乘法
(五) 过滤制定的user item
(六) 生成最终的推荐结果
四、 实例演示
1. 单机模式
1) 批量推荐
|
DataModel dataModel = new FileDataModel(new File("p/pereference"));
ItemSimilarity similarity = new PearsonCorrelationSimilarity(dataModel);
ItemBasedRecommender recommender = new GenericItemBasedRecommender(dataModel,similarity );
System.out.println(recommender.recommend(10, 10)); |
2) Because推荐
|
DataModel dataModel = new FileDataModel(new File("p/pereference"));
ItemSimilarity similarity = new PearsonCorrelationSimilarity(dataModel);
ItemBasedRecommender recommender = new GenericItemBasedRecommender(dataModel,similarity );
System.out.println(recommender.recommendedBecause(10, 10328, 100)); |
