集体智慧编程——提供推荐

我们在网站上需要做的第一件事情是提供推荐：

简单的方法是使用一个嵌套的字典，字典嵌套进去之后很容易对字典进行查询和修改。

搜集完偏好数据之后，需要有一种方法来确定人们在品味方面的相似程度。在此介绍两种，一种是欧几里德距离，另外则是皮尔逊相关度。

欧几里德距离评价：

def sim_distance(prefs,person1,person2):
  # Get the list of shared_items
  si={}
  for item in prefs[person1]: 
    if item in prefs[person2]: si[item]=1

  # if they have no ratings in common, return 0
  if len(si)==0: return 0

  # Add up the squares of all the differences
  sum_of_squares=sum([pow(prefs[person1][item]-prefs[person2][item],2) 
                      for item in prefs[person1] if item in prefs[person2]])

  return 1/(1+sum_of_squares)

皮尔逊相关度评价：

def sim_pearson(prefs,p1,p2):
  # Get the list of mutually rated items
  si={}
  for item in prefs[p1]: 
    if item in prefs[p2]: si[item]=1

  # if they are no ratings in common, return 0
  if len(si)==0: return 0

  # Sum calculations
  n=len(si)

  # Sums of all the preferences
  sum1=sum([prefs[p1][it] for it in si])
  sum2=sum([prefs[p2][it] for it in si])

  # Sums of the squares
  sum1Sq=sum([pow(prefs[p1][it],2) for it in si])
  sum2Sq=sum([pow(prefs[p2][it],2) for it in si])   

  # Sum of the products
  pSum=sum([prefs[p1][it]*prefs[p2][it] for it in si])

  # Calculate r (Pearson score)
  num=pSum-(sum1*sum2/n)
  den=sqrt((sum1Sq-pow(sum1,2)/n)*(sum2Sq-pow(sum2,2)/n))
  if den==0: return 0

  r=num/den

  return r

下面则是指定人员对每个人进行打分，并找出最接近的匹配结果。

def topMatches(prefs,person,n=5,similarity=sim_pearson):
  scores=[(similarity(prefs,person,other),other) 
                  for other in prefs if other!=person]
  scores.sort()
  scores.reverse()
  return scores[0:n]

找一位趣味相投的影评者并阅读评论固然不错，但现在我们可能更关注影片的推荐。。

def getRecommendations(prefs,person,similarity=sim_pearson):
  totals={}
  simSums={}
  for other in prefs:
    # don't compare me to myself
    if other==person: continue
    sim=similarity(prefs,person,other)

    # ignore scores of zero or lower
    if sim<=0: continue
    for item in prefs[other]:

      # only score movies I haven't seen yet
      if item not in prefs[person] or prefs[person][item]==0:
        # Similarity * Score
        totals.setdefault(item,0)
        totals[item]+=prefs[other][item]*sim
        # Sum of similarities
        simSums.setdefault(item,0)
        simSums[item]+=sim

  # Create the normalized list
  rankings=[(total/simSums[item],item) for item,total in totals.items()]

# Return the sorted list
  rankings.sort()
  rankings.reverse()
  return rankings

知道了如何为制定人员寻找品味相似者，以及如何向其推荐商品的方法，接下来看看我们想了解哪些商品是彼此相近的应该如何做。

匹配商品：

def transformPrefs(prefs):
  result={}
  for person in prefs:
    for item in prefs[person]:
      result.setdefault(item,{})

      # Flip item and person
      result[item][person]=prefs[person][item]
  return result
