turicreate.recommender.item_content_recommender.ItemContentRecommender

class turicreate.recommender.item_content_recommender.ItemContentRecommender(model_proxy)

A recommender based on the similarity between item content rather using user interaction patterns to compute similarity.

Creating an ItemContentRecommender

This model cannot be constructed directly. Instead, use turicreate.recommender.item_content_recommender.create() to create an instance of this model. A detailed list of parameter options and code samples are available in the documentation for the create function.

Notes

Model Definition

This model first computes the similarity between items using the content of each item. The similarity score between two items is calculated by first computing the similarity between the item data for each column, then taking a weighted average of the per-column similarities to get the final similarity. The recommendations are generated according to the average similarity of a candidate item to all the items in a user’s set of rated items.

For more examples, see the associated create function.
