AutoRecLab: An Autonomous Recommender Systems Lab

Abstract. Recommender systems (RecSys) research depends on extensive empirical evaluation, yet translating experimental designs into executable code remains a manual, error-prone process. This paper presents AutoRecLab, a Python-based autonomous RecSys lab that automates RecSys experimentation from natural-language prompts. Starting from a research idea, AutoRecLab derives explicit experiment requirements, develops and Read more…
