I’m going to use NVTabular with PyTorch Lightning to train a wide and deep recommender model on MovieLens 25M. It’s quite a chimera implementation as you shall see.

NVIDIA Merlin on a Potato PC Setup
NVIDIA Merlin is a high-level open-source library to accelerate recommender systems on NVIDIA GPUs at scale. I’m on a potato PC setup relying on free instances. Can I make it work?
Header image note: I typed ‘variation’ in Pexels and it popped up. Masarap! We can turn a simple autoencoder into something sophisticated. Autoencoders discover a latent mapping z, which as a lower-dimensional representation of the input x, can be useful for pre-training networks and creating recommender models. However, how autoencoders compress information may come in […]

R-Recommender Roadtrip
This is part 2 of my talk on recommenders. The presentation describes the intuitions of matrix factorization and how to implement it in R. I delivered this in the R-Users Group PH meetup group this November. If you wish to see some more recommender material in this blog, check this out:

Thesis Defense Day
Today I did the defense of my masters thesis entitled PRTNets: Cold-start recommendation using Pairwise Ranking and Transfer Networks. After nearly 5 years, I’m almost at the finish line! I never did notice that I spent more time in terms of semesters in UP than I did in ADMU. And this was because I changed […]

You Might Like… Why?
Often, recommendations are printed as “You Might Like X because you watched Y.” This connection grounds the user from a prior experience and encourages her to consume the recommended content.
It is the REAL DYL
