DeepFM Description

Learning sophisticated feature interactions behind user behaviors is critical in maximizing CTR for recommender systems. Despite great progress, existing methods seem to have a strong bias towards low- or high-order interactions, or require expertise feature engineering. In this paper, we show that it is possible to derive an end-to-end learning model that emphasizes both low- and high-order feature interactions. The proposed model, DeepFM, combines the power of factorization machines for recommendation and deep learning for feature learning in a new neural network architecture.

Model Architecture

DeepFM consists of two components. The FM component is a factorization machine, which is proposed in to learn feature interactions for recommendation. The deep component is a feed-forward neural network, which is used to learn high-order feature interactions.
The FM and deep component share the same input raw feature vector, which enables DeepFM to learn low- and high-order feature interactions simultaneously from the input raw features.

Environment Requirements

• Hardware（Ascend/GPU）
  • Prepare hardware environment with Ascend or GPU processor. If you want to try Ascend, please send the application form to ascend@huawei.com. Once approved, you can get the resources.
• Framework
  • MindSpore
• For more information, please check the resources below：
  • MindSpore tutorials
  • MindSpore API

Quick Start

After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start training and evaluation as follows:

• runing on Ascend

  # run training example
  python train.py \
    --dataset_path='dataset/train' \
    --ckpt_path='./checkpoint' \
    --eval_file_name='auc.log' \
    --loss_file_name='loss.log' \
    --device_target='Ascend' \
    --do_eval=True > ms_log/output.log 2>&1 &
  
  # run distributed training example
  sh scripts/run_distribute_train.sh 8 /dataset_path /rank_table_8p.json
  
  # run evaluation example
  python eval.py \
    --dataset_path='dataset/test' \
    --checkpoint_path='./checkpoint/deepfm.ckpt' \
    --device_target='Ascend' > ms_log/eval_output.log 2>&1 &
  OR
  sh scripts/run_eval.sh 0 Ascend /dataset_path /checkpoint_path/deepfm.ckpt
  

  For distributed training, a hccl configuration file with JSON format needs to be created in advance.

  Please follow the instructions in the link below:

  https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools.

• running on GPU

  For running on GPU, please change device_target from Ascend to GPU in configuration file src/config.py

  # run training example
  python train.py \
    --dataset_path='dataset/train' \
    --ckpt_path='./checkpoint' \
    --eval_file_name='auc.log' \
    --loss_file_name='loss.log' \
    --device_target='GPU' \
    --do_eval=True > ms_log/output.log 2>&1 &
  
  # run distributed training example
  sh scripts/run_distribute_train.sh 8 /dataset_path
  
  # run evaluation example
  python eval.py \
    --dataset_path='dataset/test' \
    --checkpoint_path='./checkpoint/deepfm.ckpt' \
    --device_target='GPU' > ms_log/eval_output.log 2>&1 &
  OR
  sh scripts/run_eval.sh 0 GPU /dataset_path /checkpoint_path/deepfm.ckpt
