git clone https://github.com/HongZhaoHua/jstarcraft-rns.git
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
使用步骤：
- 设置依赖： 在您的项目中添加 JStarCraft RNS 的 Maven 或 Gradle 依赖。
- 构建配置器： 使用
Configurator 类加载配置文件，配置模型训练和评估参数。
- 训练与评估模型： 使用
RankingTask 或 RatingTask 类训练和评估模型，并获取模型评估指标。
- 获取模型： 使用
task.getModel() 方法获取训练好的模型。
JStarCraft RNS 的架构与概念
JStarCraft RNS 的核心概念包括：
- 信息检索： 由于信息过载，信息检索的任务就是联系用户和信息，帮助用户找到对自己有价值的信息，并帮助信息暴露给对它感兴趣的用户。
- 搜索与推荐： 搜索是主动明确的，推荐是被动模糊的。两者是互补的工具。
- 排序预测（Ranking）与评分预测（Rating）： Ranking 算法基于隐式反馈数据，关注用户的排序偏好；Rating 算法基于显示反馈数据，关注用户的评分满意度。
JStarCraft RNS 的示例
JStarCraft RNS 支持多种脚本语言，例如 BeanShell、Groovy、JS、Kotlin、Lua、Python 和 Ruby。用户可以使用这些脚本语言定制化开发模型训练和评估流程。
例如，以下代码展示了如何使用 BeanShell 脚本训练和评估模型：
// 构建配置
keyValues = new Properties();
keyValues.load(loader.getResourceAsStream("data.properties"));
keyValues.load(loader.getResourceAsStream("model/benchmark/randomguess-test.properties"));
configurator = new Configurator(keyValues);
// 此对象会返回给Java程序
_data = new HashMap();
// 构建排序任务
task = new RankingTask(RandomGuessModel.class, configurator);
// 训练与评估模型并获取排序指标
measures = task.execute();
_data.put("precision", measures.get(PrecisionEvaluator.class));
_data.put("recall", measures.get(RecallEvaluator.class));
// 构建评分任务
task = new RatingTask(RandomGuessModel.class, configurator);
// 训练与评估模型并获取评分指标
measures = task.execute();
_data.put("mae", measures.get(MAEEvaluator.class));
_data.put("mse", measures.get(MSEEvaluator.class));
_data;
