LightFM is a Python implementation of a number of popular recommendation algorithms for both implicit and explicit feedback, including efficient implementation of BPR and WARP ranking losses. It's easy to use, fast (via multithreaded model estimation), and produces high quality results.

It also makes it possible to incorporate both item and user metadata into the traditional matrix factorization algorithms. It represents each user and item as the sum of the latent representations of their features, thus allowing recommendations to generalise to new items (via item features) and to new users (via user features).

For more details, see the [Documentation](http://lyst.github.io/lightfm/docs/home.html).

## Installation
Install from `pip`:
```
pip install lightfm
```
or Conda:
```
conda install -c conda-forge lightfm
```

## Quickstart
Fitting an implicit feedback model on the MovieLens 100k dataset is very easy:
```python
from lightfm import LightFM
from lightfm.datasets import fetch_movielens
from lightfm.evaluation import precision_at_k

# Load the MovieLens 100k dataset. Only five
# star ratings are treated as positive.
data = fetch_movielens(min_rating=5.0)

# Instantiate and train the model
model = LightFM(loss='warp')
model.fit(data['train'], epochs=30, num_threads=2)

# Evaluate the trained model
test_precision = precision_at_k(model, data['test'], k=5).mean()
```

## Development
Pull requests are welcome. To install for development:

1. Clone the repository: `git clone git@github.com:lyst/lightfm.git`
2. Setup a virtual environment: `cd lightfm && python3 -m venv venv && source ./venv/bin/activate`
3. Install it for development using pip: `pip install -e . && pip install -r test-requirements.txt`
4. You can run tests by running `./venv/bin/py.test tests`.
5. LightFM uses [black](https://github.com/ambv/black) to enforce code formatting and flake8 for linting, see `lint-requirements.txt`.
6. [Optional]: You can install pre-commit to locally enfore formatting and linting. Install with:
    ```bash
    pip install pre-commit
    pre-commit install
    ```

When making changes to the `.pyx` extension files, you'll need to run `python setup.py cythonize` in order to produce the extension `.c` files before running `pip install -e .`.
