Is "everything but p@k flawed" in #IR and #RecSys evaluation? Very interesting (and somewhat shocking) preprint by @NorbertFuhr et al. about IR metrics, which are also commonly used in recsys research. #RS_c

Norbert Fuhr@NorbertFuhr

Our comprehensive answer to the IR measures problem: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.02668. 1. Everything but P@k is flawed. 2. Avoid Recall-based measures (R@k, AP, nDCG). 3. For all others, apply our transformation method.

E. Lewinson wrote a tutorial about Lazy Predict, an #AutoML lib by Shankar R. Pandala for #scikitlearn. AutoML is also becoming more prominent for recommender-systems (#AutoRecSys) and hence this library could be useful for #recsys developers. https://recommender-systems.com/news/2021/01/11/lazy-predict-scikit-learn-automl/ #RS_c

The @UvA_Amsterdam advertises an #AssistantProfessor position explicitly for #RecSys and #IR. Seems that #Amsterdam is getting serious about Recommender Systems (#Recsys2021 is also hosted in Amsterdam). https://www.uva.nl/en/content/vacancies/2020/12/20-765-tenure-track-position-in-information-retrieval.html #assistant_professor_recruitment #RS_c_jobs #RS_c

"Why isn’t your recommender system training faster on GPU?", a nice blog post by @Even_Oldridge and Nvidia with a comparison of #ComputerVision, #NLP, and #RecSys suitability for #GPUs https://recommender-systems.com/news/2020/12/09/why-isnt-your-recommender-system-training-faster-on-gpu-even-oldridge-nvidia/ #RS_c

#VersionControl for #RecSys and #MachineLearning is a topic that certainly deserves (more) attention. Good to see that #TensorFlow is starting doing exactly that with their new library ‘Machine Learning Metadata (MLMD)’ https://recommender-systems.com/news/2021/01/11/recommender-systems-version-control-tensorflow-mlmd/ #mlmd #DeepLearning #ML #DL
