Record to Record Recommendations for Invenio.

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/CERNDocumentServer/record-recommender.svg?branch=master

The Record Recommender creates recommendations for Invenio. By reading page views and downloads from Elasticsearch calculating the recommendations and storing them in Redis to be retrieve and displayed by Invenio.

Usage

The workflow to generate the recommendations is:

  1. recommender fetch 24 to cache the last 24 weeks of page views and downloads from Elasticsearch.

  2. recommender profiles 24 generate the user profiles from the page views and downloads. For the not logged in users profiles based on the ip-address and user agent are created.

  3. recommender build 50 calculates the recommendations using 50 processes and stores them in the specified Redis server.

Alternative the recommendations can be automatically be fetched, the profiles generated and the recommendations calculated all this with one command:

recommender update_recommender 24 50 for the last 24 weeks and using 50 processes.

Configuration

The configuration file is expected to be in /etc/record_recommender.yml otherwise the path to the config file can be defined by using the command line option --config_path.
