Detailed Description

template<typename OptimizerType = ens::StandardSGD>
class mlpack::svd::BiasSVD< OptimizerType >

Bias SVD is an improvement on Regularized SVD which is a matrix factorization techniques.

Bias SVD outputs user/item latent vectors and user/item bias, so that , where b, p, q are bias, item latent, user latent respectively. Parameters are optmized by Stochastic Gradient Desent(SGD). The updates also penalize the learning of large feature values by means of regularization.

An example of how to use the interface is shown below:

arma::mat data; // Rating data in the form of coordinate list.
 
const size_t rank = 10; // Rank used for the decomposition.
const size_t iterations = 10; // Number of iterations used for optimization.
 
const double alpha = 0.005 // Learning rate for the SGD optimizer.
const double lambda = 0.02 // Regularization parameter for the optimization.
 
// Make a BiasSVD object.
BiasSVD<> biasSVD(iterations, alpha, lambda);
 
arma::mat u, v; // Item and User matrices.
arma::vec p, q; // Item and User bias.
 
// Use the Apply() method to get a factorization.
rSVD.Apply(data, rank, u, v, p, q);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BiasSVD()

BiasSVD	(	const size_t	iterations = 10,
		const double	alpha = 0.02,
		const double	lambda = 0.05
	)

Constructor of Bias SVD.

By default SGD optimizer is used in BiasSVD. The optimizer uses a template specialization of Optimize().

Parameters

iterations	Number of optimization iterations.
alpha	Learning rate for the SGD optimizer.
lambda	Regularization parameter for the optimization.

		const size_t	rank,
		arma::mat &	u,
		arma::mat &	v,
		arma::vec &	p,
		arma::vec &	q
	)

Trains the model and obtains user/item matrices and user/item bias.

Parameters

data	Rating data matrix.
rank	Rank parameter to be used for optimization.
u	Item matrix obtained on decomposition.
