Abstract

The large array of recommendation algorithms proposed over the years brings a challenge in reproducing and comparing their performance. This paper introduces an open-source Java library that implements a suite of state-of-the-art algorithms as well as a series of evaluation metrics. We empirically find that LibRec performs faster than other such libraries, while achieving competitive evaluative performance.
