Data Pruning in Recommender Systems Research: Best Practice or Malpractice?

Abstract. Many recommender-system datasets are pruned, i.e. some data is removed that wouldn’t be removed in a production recommender-system. For instance, the MovieLens dataset contains only data from users who rated 20 or more movies.1 Similarly, some researchers prune data themselves and conduct their experiments only on subsets of the Read more…
