NextItNet pytorch version: https://github.com/syiswell/NextItNet-Pytorch

GRec pytorch version: https://github.com/hangjunguo/GRec

conure_tp_t1.py: Conure is trained on Task1, and once converged it will be pruned.

conure_ret_t1.py: Conure retrains the pruned architecture of Task1

conure_tp_t2.py: Conure is trained on Task2 and once converged it will be pruned.

conure_ret_t2.py: Conure retrains the pruned architecture of Task2

Large-scale Recommendation Dataset for pretraining，transfer learning (crosss-domain recommendation) and user representation learning：

Download the TTL dataset from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1imhHUsivh6oMEtEW-RwVc4OsDqn-xOaP/view?usp=sharin or the ML dataset from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-_KmnZFaOdH11keLYVcgkf-kW_BaM266/view?usp=sharing

TTL Dataset: 可用于推荐系统预训练，迁移学习，跨域推荐，冷启动推荐，用户表征学习，自监督学习等任务。

Running our code:

Put these dataset on Data/Session

FOllowing these steps:

python conure_tp_t1.py After convergence (it takes more than 24 hours for training). We suggest 4 iterations. Parameters will be automatioally saved.

python conure_ret_t1.py You can manually stop this job if the results are satisfied (better than results reported in conure_tp_t1.py). Parameters will be automatioally saved.

python conure_tp_t2.py

python conure_ret_t2.py

python conure_tp_t3.py

python conure_ret_t3.py

python conure_tp_t4.py

python conure_ret_t4.py

Environments
