Deep-AutoEncoder-Recommendation

Autoencoder has been widely adopted into Collaborative Filtering (CF) for recommendation system. A classic CF problem is inferring the missing rating in an MxN matrix R where R(i, j) is the ratings given by the i^th user to the j^th item. This project is a Keras implementation of AutoRec [1] and Deep AutoRec [2] with additional experiments such as the impact of default rating of users or ratings.

The Dataset I used for this project is MovieLens 1M Dataset and can be downloaded from here.

The preprocessing of the dataset can be found in this Jupyter Notebook

The implementation of models in Keras can be found in this Jupyter Notebook
