Awesome

modified based on paper author's tensorflow implementation, switching to PyTorch(v1.6) for simplicity, fixed issues like positional embedding usage etc. (making it harder to overfit, except for that, in recsys, personalization=overfitting sometimes)

to train:

python main.py --dataset=ml-1m --train_dir=default --maxlen=200 --dropout_rate=0.2 --device=cuda

just inference:

python main.py --device=cuda --dataset=ml-1m --train_dir=default --state_dict_path='ml-1m_default/SASRec.epoch=1000.lr=0.001.layer=2.head=1.hidden=50.maxlen=200.pth' --inference_only=true --maxlen=200

output for each run would be slightly random, as negative samples are randomly sampled, here's my output for two consecutive runs:

1st run - test (NDCG@10: 0.5897, HR@10: 0.8190)
2nd run - test (NDCG@10: 0.5918, HR@10: 0.8225)

pls check paper author's repo for detailed intro and more complete README, and here's the paper bib FYI :)

I see a dozen of citations of the repo recently🫰, here's the repo bib if needed.
