elliot.evaluation.metrics.rating.mae.mae module

This is the implementation of the Mean Absolute Error metric. It proceeds from a system-wise computation.

class elliot.evaluation.metrics.rating.mae.mae.MAE(recommendations, config, params, eval_objects)

Bases: elliot.evaluation.metrics.base_metric.BaseMetric

Mean Absolute Error

This class represents the implementation of the Mean Absolute Error recommendation metric.

For further details, please refer to the link

\[\mathrm{MAE}=\frac{1}{|{T}|} \sum_{(u, i) \in {T}}\left|\hat{r}_{u i}-r_{u i}\right|\]

\(T\) is the test set, \(\hat{r}_{u i}\) is the score predicted by the model,

To compute the metric, add it to the config file adopting the following pattern:

simple_metrics: [MAE]

eval()

Evaluation function :return: the overall averaged value of Mean Absolute Error

eval_user_metric()

Evaluation function :return: the overall averaged value of Mean Absolute Error per user

static name()

Metric Name Getter :return: returns the public name of the metric

static needs_full_recommendations()
