This is a python implementation of Factorization Machines [1]. This uses stochastic gradient descent with adaptive regularization as a learning method, which adapts the regularization automatically while training the model parameters. See [2] for details. From libfm.org: "Factorization machines (FM) are a generic approach that allows to mimic most factorization models by feature engineering. This way, factorization machines combine the generality of feature engineering with the superiority of factorization models in estimating interactions between categorical variables of large domain."

The easiest way to use this class is to represent your training data as lists of standard Python dict objects, where the dict elements map each instance's categorical and real valued variables to its values. Then use a sklearn DictVectorizer to convert them to a design matrix with a one-of-K or “one-hot” coding.
Here's a toy example
from pyfm import pylibfm
from sklearn.feature_extraction import DictVectorizer
import numpy as np
train = [
{"user": "1", "item": "5", "age": 19},
{"user": "2", "item": "43", "age": 33},
{"user": "3", "item": "20", "age": 55},
{"user": "4", "item": "10", "age": 20},
]
v = DictVectorizer()
X = v.fit_transform(train)
print(X.toarray())
[[ 19. 0. 0. 0. 1. 1. 0. 0. 0.]
[ 33. 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 1. 0. 0.]
[ 55. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 1. 0.]
[ 20. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 1.]]
y = np.repeat(1.0,X.shape[0])
fm = pylibfm.FM()
fm.fit(X,y)
fm.predict(v.transform({"user": "1", "item": "10", "age": 24}))Here's an example on some real movie ratings data.
First get the smallest movielens ratings dataset from http://www.grouplens.org/system/files/ml-100k.zip. ml-100k contains the files u.item (list of movie ids and titles) and u.data (list of user_id, movie_id, rating, timestamp).
import numpy as np
from sklearn.feature_extraction import DictVectorizer
from pyfm import pylibfm
# Read in data
def loadData(filename,path="ml-100k/"):
data = []
y = []
users=set()
items=set()
with open(path+filename) as f:
for line in f:
(user,movieid,rating,ts)=line.split('\t')
data.append({ "user_id": str(user), "movie_id": str(movieid)})
y.append(float(rating))
users.add(user)
items.add(movieid)
return (data, np.array(y), users, items)
(train_data, y_train, train_users, train_items) = loadData("ua.base")
(test_data, y_test, test_users, test_items) = loadData("ua.test")
v = DictVectorizer()
X_train = v.fit_transform(train_data)
X_test = v.transform(test_data)
