Convert input data to csr sparse matrix.

class replay.preprocessing.converter.CSRConverter(first_dim_column, second_dim_column, data_column=None, row_count=None, column_count=None, allow_collect_to_master=False)

Convert input data to csr sparse matrix. Where data_column, first_dim_column and second_dim_column satisfy the relationship matrix[first_dim_column[i], second_dim_column[i]] = data_column[i].

transform(data)

Transform Spark or Pandas Data Frame to csr.

Parameters

data (Union[DataFrame, DataFrame, DataFrame]) – Spark or Pandas Data Frame containing columns first_dim_column, second_dim_column, and optional data_column.

Return type

csr_matrix

Returns

Sparse interactions.

Sessionizer

Create and filter sessions from given interactions.

class replay.preprocessing.sessionizer.Sessionizer(user_column='user_id', time_column='timestamp', session_column='session_id', session_gap=86400, time_column_format='yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss', min_inter_per_session=None, max_inter_per_session=None, min_sessions_per_user=None, max_sessions_per_user=None)

Create and filter sessions from given interactions. Session ids are formed as subtraction between unique users cumulative sum and number of entries inside each user history that are greater than session gap.

transform(interactions)

Pad dataframe.

Parameters

interactions (Union[DataFrame, DataFrame, DataFrame]) – DataFrame with array columns with names pad_columns.

Return type

Union[DataFrame, DataFrame, DataFrame]

Returns

DataFrame with padded array columns.

SequenceGenerator (Experimental)

Creating sequences for sequential models.

class replay.experimental.preprocessing.sequence_generator.SequenceGenerator(groupby_column, orderby_column=None, transform_columns=None, len_window=50, sequence_prefix=None, sequence_suffix='_list', label_prefix='label_', label_suffix=None, get_list_len=False, list_len_column='list_len')

Creating sequences for sequential models.

E.g., u1 has purchase sequence <i1, i2, i3, i4>, then after processing, there will be generated three cases.

u1, <i1> | i2

(Which means given user_id u1 and item_seq <i1>, model need to predict the next item i2.)

The other cases are below:

u1, <i1, i2> | i3

u1, <i1, i2, i3> | i4

transform(interactions)

Create sequences from given interactions.

Parameters

interactions (Union[DataFrame, DataFrame, DataFrame]) – DataFrame.

Return type

Union[DataFrame, DataFrame, DataFrame]

Returns

DataFrame with transformed interactions. Sequential interactions in list.

Data Preparation (Experimental)

Replay has a number of requirements for input data. We await that input columns are in the form [user_id, item_id, timestamp, relevance]. And internal format is a spark DataFrame with indexed integer values for [user_idx, item_idx]. You can convert indexes of your Spark DataFrame with Indexer class.

class replay.experimental.preprocessing.data_preparator.Indexer(user_col='user_id', item_col='item_id')

This class is used to convert arbitrary id to numerical idx and back.

fit(users, items)

Creates indexers to map raw id to numerical idx so that spark can handle them. :type users: DataFrame :param users: SparkDataFrame containing user column :type items: DataFrame :param items: SparkDataFrame containing item column :rtype: None :return:

inverse_transform(df)

Convert SparkDataFrame to the initial indexes.

Parameters

df (DataFrame) – SparkDataFrame with numerical user_idx/item_idx columns

Return type

DataFrame

Returns

SparkDataFrame with original user/item columns

transform(df)

Convert raw user_col and item_col to numerical user_idx and item_idx

Parameters

df (DataFrame) – dataframe with raw indexes

Return type

Optional[DataFrame]

Returns

dataframe with converted indexes

If your DataFrame is in the form of Pandas DataFrame and has different column names, you can either preprocess it yourself with convert2spark function or use DataPreparator class

class replay.experimental.preprocessing.data_preparator.DataPreparator

Transforms data to a library format:

• read as a spark dataframe/ convert pandas dataframe to spark

• check for nulls

• create relevance/timestamp columns if absent

• convert dates to TimestampType

Examples:

Loading log DataFrame

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from replay.experimental.preprocessing.data_preparator import DataPreparator
>>>
>>> log = pd.DataFrame({"user": [2, 2, 2, 1],
...                     "item_id": [1, 2, 3, 3],
...                     "rel": [5, 5, 5, 5]}
...                    )
>>> dp = DataPreparator()
>>> correct_log = dp.transform(data=log,
...                            columns_mapping={"user_id": "user",

...                                           "relevance": "rel"}
...                             )

>>>
>>> log = pd.DataFrame({"user": ["user1", "user1", "user2"],
...                     "f0": ["feature1","feature2","feature1"],
...                     "f1": ["left","left","center"],

static add_absent_log_cols(dataframe, columns_mapping, default_relevance=1.0, default_ts='2099-01-01')

Add relevance and timestamp columns with default values if relevance or timestamp is absent among mapping keys.

Parameters

• dataframe (DataFrame) – interactions log to process

• columns_mapping (Dict[str, str]) – dictionary mapping “key: column name in input DataFrame”. Possible keys: [user_id, user_id, timestamp, relevance]

• default_relevance (float) – default value for generated relevance column

• default_ts (str) – str, default value for generated timestamp column

Returns

spark DataFrame with generated timestamp and relevance columns if absent in original dataframe

check_df(dataframe, columns_mapping)

Check: - if dataframe is not empty, - if columns from columns_mapping are present in dataframe - warn about nulls in columns from columns_mapping - warn about absent of timestamp/relevance columns for interactions log - warn about wrong relevance DataType

Parameters

• dataframe (DataFrame) – spark DataFrame to process

• columns_mapping (Dict[str, str]) – dictionary mapping “key: column name in input DataFrame”. Possible keys: [user_id, user_id, timestamp, relevance] columns_mapping values specifies the nature of the DataFrame: - if both [user_id, item_id] are present, then the dataframe is a log of interactions.

Return type

None

property logger: Logger

Returns

get library logger

static read_as_spark_df(data=None, path=None, format_type=None, **kwargs)

Read spark dataframe from file of transform pandas dataframe.
