编译
在Ubuntu14.04上进行。环境需要g++4.6及以上。
将下载的压缩文件上传至Ubuntu，解压。
进入目录，输入“make”进行编译。
编译后可看到这些文件
数据格式
在demo目录中，文件real_matrix.tr.txt' 和 `real_matrix.te.txt'是真值矩阵分解real-valued matrix factorization (RVMF)演示的训练和测试数据集。二元矩阵分解binary matrix factorization (BMF)中，`binary_matrix.tr.txt' 和`binary_matrix.te.txt.'中
模型格式
LibMF把一个训练矩阵R变为一个k-by-m的矩阵 `P'和一个k-by-n的矩阵 `Q'，也就是R近似于 P'Q。训练过程结束后，这两个因子矩阵P和Ｑ被存到一个模型文件中。这个文件以如下打头：
`f': the loss function of the solved MF problem
`m': the number of rows in the training matrix,
`n': the number of columns in the training matrix,
`k': the number of latent factors,
`b': the average of all elements in the training matrix.
从第五行开始，Ｐ和Ｑ的列就被一行接一行的存储。每一行，都有两个领导标志跟在一列值后面。第一个标志是被存储列的名字，第二个标志表明值的类型。如果第二个标志是‘T’，列是真值。否则，列的所有值是NaN。举个例子：
[1 NaN 2] [-1 -2]
P = |3 NaN 4|, Q = |-3 -4|,
[5 NaN 6] [-5 -6]
并且b=0.5，则模型文件的内容是：
--------model file--------
m 3
n 2
k 3
b 0.5
p0 T 1 3 5
p1 F 0 0 0
p2 T 2 4 6
q0 T -1 -3 -5
q1 T -2 -4 -6
--------------------------
使用
'mf-train'
用法: mf-train [options] training_set_file [model_file]
“mf-train”是LibMF最主要的训练命令。每次迭代，下列信息都被打印出来：
- iter: the index of iteration
- tr_xxxx: xxxx is the evaluation criterion on the training set
- va_xxxx: the same criterion on the validation set if `-p' is set
- obj: objective function value
这里的`tr_xxxx' 和 `obj' 都是估计的，因为计算真的值太耗时间了。
对于不同的损失，标准如下：
- 0: root mean square error (RMSE)
- 1: mean absolute error (MAE)
- 2: generalized KL-divergence (KL)
- 5: logarithmic loss
- 6 & 7: accuracy
- 10 & 11: pair-wise logarithmic loss (BprLoss)
'mf-predict'
用法:mf-predict [options] test_file model_file output_file
示例
在demo目录中，有一个“demo.sh”shell脚本，运行它可以用来演示。
下面做一些操作：
mf-train real_matrix.tr.txt model
train a model using the default parameters
mf-train -l1 0.05 -l2 0.01 real_matrix.tr.txt model
train a model with the following regularization coefficients:
coefficient of L1-norm regularization on P = 0.05
coefficient of L1-norm regularization on Q = 0.05
coefficient of L2-norm regularization on P = 0.01
coefficient of L2-norm regularization on Q = 0.01
mf-train -l1 0.015,0 -l2 0.01,0.005 real_matrix.tr.txt model
train a model with the following regularization coefficients:
coefficient of L1-norm regularization on P = 0.05
coefficient of L1-norm regularization on Q = 0
coefficient of L2-norm regularization on P = 0.01
coefficient of L2-norm regularization on Q = 0.03
mf-train -f 5 -l1 0,0.02 -k 100 -t 30 -r 0.02 -s 4 binary_matrix.tr.txt model
train a BMF model using logarithmic loss and the following parameters:
coefficient of L1-norm regularization on P = 0
coefficient of L1-norm regularization on Q = 0.01
latent factors = 100
iterations = 30
learning rate = 0.02
threads = 4
mf-train -p real_matrix.te.txt real_matrix.tr.txt model
use real_matrix.te.txt for hold-out validation
mf-train -v 5 real_matrix.tr.txt
do five fold cross validation
mf-train -f 2 --nmf real_matrix.tr.txt
do non-negative matrix factorization with generalized KL-divergence
mf-train --quiet real_matrix.tr.txt
do not print message to screen
mf-train --disk real_matrix.tr.txt
do disk-level training
mf-predict real_matrix.te.txt model output
do prediction
mf-predict -e 1 real_matrix.te.txt model output
do prediction and output MAE
运行完以上操作后的文件夹
可是在二元矩阵那里卡住了，后面再尝试，连real_matrix都卡住了。
