Context-sensitive ranking and choice

NOTE
****

This library has recently been migrated from tensorflow to PyTorch. The 2.0
version marks a breaking change. Some of the previous functionality is now
unavailable and some classes behave differently. You can use the latest 1.x
release if you are looking for the tensorflow based estimators.

CS-Rank
*******

CS-Rank is a Python package for context-sensitive ranking and choice
algorithms.

We implement the following new object ranking/choice architectures:

* FATE (First aggregate then evaluate)
* FETA (First evaluate then aggregate)

In addition, we also implement these algorithms for choice functions:

* RankNetChoiceFunction
* GeneralizedLinearModel
* PairwiseSVMChoiceFunction

These are the state-of-the-art approaches implemented for the discrete choice
setting:

* GeneralizedNestedLogitModel
* MixedLogitModel
* NestedLogitModel
* PairedCombinatorialLogit
* RankNetDiscreteChoiceFunction
* PairwiseSVMDiscreteChoiceFunction


Getting started
===============
As a simple "Hello World!"-example we will try to learn the Pareto problem:

.. code-block:: python

   import csrank as cs
   from csrank import ChoiceDatasetGenerator
   gen = ChoiceDatasetGenerator(dataset_type='pareto',
                                   n_objects=30,
                                   n_features=2)
   X_train, Y_train, X_test, Y_test = gen.get_single_train_test_split()

All our learning algorithms are implemented using the scikit-learn estimator
API. Fitting our FATENet architecture is as simple as calling the ``fit``
method:

.. code-block:: python

   fate = cs.FATEChoiceFunction()
   fate.fit(X_train, Y_train)

Predictions can then be obtained using:

.. code-block:: python

   fate.predict(X_test)


Installation
------------
The latest release version of CS-Rank can be installed from Github as follows::

   pip install git+https://github.com/kiudee/cs-ranking.git

Another option is to clone the repository and install CS-Rank using::

   python setup.py install


Dependencies
------------
CS-Rank depends on PyTorch, skorch, NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, scikit-learn,
joblib and tqdm. For data processing and generation you will
also need PyGMO, H5Py and pandas.
