A fast implementation of ranking metrics for information retrieval and recommendation.

Project description

Latest PyPI version Latest GitHub actions build status

A fast numpy/numba-based implementation of ranking metrics for information retrieval and recommendation. Coded with efficiency in mind and support for edge cases.

Find the full documentation here.

Features

  • Wide array of evaluation metrics for information retrieval and top-N recommender systems:

    • Binary labels: Recall, Precision, MAP, HitRate, MRR, MeanRanks, F1

    • Numeric and binary labels: DCG, nDCG

  • Minimal dependencies: Numpy and Numba (required), SciPy (optional)

  • Flexible input formats: Supports arrays, lists and sparse matrices

  • Built-in support for confidence intervals via bootstrapping

Usage

from rankereval import BinaryLabels, Rankings, Recall

y_true = BinaryLabels.from_positive_indices([[0,2], [0,1,2]])
y_pred = Rankings.from_ranked_indices([[2,1], [1]])

recall_at_3 = Recall(3).mean(y_true, y_pred)
print(recall_at_3["score"])

To get confidence intervals (95% by default), specify conf_interval=True:

recall_at_3 = Recall(3).mean(y_true, y_pred, conf_interval=True)
print(recall_at_3["conf_interval"])

Input formats

RankerEval allows for a variety of input formats, e.g.,

# specify all labels as lists
y_true = BinaryLabels.from_dense([[1,0,1], [1,1,1]])

# specify labels as numpy array
y_true = BinaryLabels.from_dense(np.asarray([[1,0,1], [1,1,1]]))

# or use a sparse matrix
import scipy.sparse as sp
y_true = BinaryLabels.from_sparse(sp.coo_matrix([[1,0,1], [1,1,1]]))

Installation

To install (requires Numpy 1.18 or newer):

pip install rankereval
