streamsight.settings.SingleTimePointSetting

class streamsight.settings.SingleTimePointSetting(background_t: int, n_seq_data: int = 1, top_K: int = 1, t_upper: int = 2147483647, include_all_past_data: bool = False, seed: int | None = None)

Bases: Setting

Single time point setting for data split.

Parameters:

background_t (int) – Time point to split the data into background and evaluation data. Split will be from [0, t)
n_seq_data (int, optional) – Number of last sequential interactions to provide as unlabeled data for model to make prediction.
top_K (int, optional) – Number of interaction per user that should be selected for evaluation purposes.
t_upper (int, optional) – Upper bound on the timestamp of interactions. Defaults to maximal integer value (acting as infinity).
seed (int, optional) – Seed for randomization parts of the scenario. Timed scenario is deterministic, so changing seed should not matter. Defaults to None, so random seed will be generated.

__init__(background_t: int, n_seq_data: int = 1, top_K: int = 1, t_upper: int = 2147483647, include_all_past_data: bool = False, seed: int | None = None)
