RecBole 1.0 | HomePage | Datasets | Paper

Based on a popular recommendation framework RecBole, we develop an extended recommendation library called RecBole 2.0, consisting of benchmarking packages for up-to-date topics and architectures.

RecBole 2.0 includes 8 packages covering the up-to-date research topic in recommender system:

For each package, we provide complete implementations from data loading, experimental setup, evaluation and algorithm implementation. This library is of great value to facilitate the up-to-date research in recommender systems.

About RecBole 2.0

With the rapid advancement of recommender systems, we are receiving an increasing number of requests from RecBole users for support the most recent advances (like debiased, fairness and GNNs). Meanwhile, members of our team are conducting research on these emerging topics or models. As a result, we build up this extended library based on RecBole 1.0 and we believe this extension is a significant contribution to RecBole, which is a valuable resource to the research community.

In order to facilitate the retrieval of models based on RecBole, we have summarized all implemented model information and see model list for details.
