RecList


* Free software: MIT license
* Documentation: https://reclist.readthedocs.io.



Overview
--------

*RecList* is an open source library providing behavioral, "black-box" testing for recommender systems. Inspired by the pioneering work of [Ribeiro et al. 2020](https://aclanthology.org/2020.acl-main.442.pdf) in NLP, we introduce a general plug-and-play procedure to scale up behavioral testing, with an easy-to-extend interface for custom use cases.

*RecList* ships with some popular datasets and ready-made behavioral tests: check the paper (forthcoming) for more details on the relevant literature and the philosophical motivations behind the project.

If you are not familiar with the library, we suggest first taking our small [tour](#a-guided-tour) to get acquainted with the main abstractions through ready-made models and public datasets.

Project updates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

_Nov. 2021: the library is currently in alpha. We welcome contributions (see below) and feedback, but please be advised that the package may change substantially in the upcoming months. A pre-print of the companion paper is planned to be released before Dec. 2021

As the project is in active development, come back often for updates.
