Setup

MovieLens-100K, MovieLens-1M and MovieLens-10M datasets are publicly available here. The Youtube dataset is introduced in this paper. The main environment is:

• CUDA 9.0
• torch 1.1.0
• numpy 1.14.0

To run baselines, these packages are required:

• tffm
• hyperopt
• tensorflow 1.15.2

Architecture Search

• SIF

python main_search.py --mode=sif --dataset=ml-100k

• Baseline (examples)

python main_search.py --mode=random --dataset=ml-100k # Random
python main_search.py --mode=hyperopt --dataset=ml-100k # Bayesian Optimization

Architecture Evaluation

• SIF

python main_evaluate.py --mode=sif --dataset=ml-100k --arch=searched_model_path

• Baseline (examples)

python main_evaluate.py --mode=ncf --dataset=ml-100k # Neural Collaborative Filtering
python main_evaluate.py --mode=libfm --dataset=ml-100k # Factorization Machine
