What is recommendation system ?

- Recommendation system helps users quickly find useful and interesting information from massive data. - Recommendation system is also a silver bullet to attract users, retain users, increase users' stickness or conversionn. > Who can better use the recommendation system, who can gain more advantage in the fierce competition. > > At the same time, there are many problems in the process of using the recommendation system, such as: huge data, complex model, inefficient distributed training, and so on.

What is PaddleRec ?

- A quick start tool of search & recommendation algorithm based on [PaddlePaddle](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/beginners_guide/index_en.html) - A complete solution of recommendation system for beginners, developers and researchers. - Recommendation algorithm library including content-understanding, match, recall, rank, multi-task, re-rank etc. | Type | Algorithm |

Getting Started

### Environmental requirements * Python 2.7/ 3.5 / 3.6 / 3.7 * PaddlePaddle >= 1.7.2 * operating system: Windows/Mac/Linux > Linux is recommended for distributed training ### Installation 1. **Install by pip** ```bash python -m pip install paddle-rec ``` > This method will download and install `paddlepaddle-v1.7.2-cpu`. If `PaddlePaddle` can not be installed automatically，You need to install `PaddlePaddle` manually，and then install `PaddleRec` again： > - Download [PaddlePaddle](https://pypi.org/project/paddlepaddle/1.7.2/#files) and install by pip. > - Install `PaddlePaddle` by pip，`python -m pip install paddlepaddle==1.7.2 -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple` > - Other installation problems can be raised in [Paddle Issue](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues) or [PaddleRec Issue](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleRec/issues) 2. **Install by source code** - Install PaddlePaddle ```shell python -m pip install paddlepaddle==1.7.2 -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple ``` - Install PaddleRec by source code ``` git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleRec/ cd PaddleRec python setup.py install ``` - Install PaddleRec-GPU After installing `PaddleRec`，please install the appropriate version of `paddlepaddle-gpu` according to your environment (CUDA / cudnn)，refer to the installation tutorial [Installation Manuals](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/install/index_en.html)

Quick Start

We take the `dnn` algorithm as an example to get start of `PaddleRec`, and we take 100 pieces of training data from [Criteo Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/c/criteo-display-ad-challenge/): ```bash # Training with cpu python -m paddlerec.run -m paddlerec.models.rank.dnn ```
