Description
mean_average_precision
google.protobuf.wrappers_pb2.DoubleValue
Calculates a precision per user for all the
items by ranking them and then averages all the
precisions across all the users.
mean_squared_error
google.protobuf.wrappers_pb2.DoubleValue
Similar to the mean squared error computed in
regression and explicit recommendation models
except instead of computing the rating directly,
the output from evaluate is computed against a
preference which is 1 or 0 depending on if the
rating exists or not.
normalized_discounted_cumulative_gain
google.protobuf.wrappers_pb2.DoubleValue
A metric to determine the goodness of a
ranking calculated from the predicted confidence
by comparing it to an ideal rank measured by the
original ratings.
average_rank
google.protobuf.wrappers_pb2.DoubleValue
Determines the goodness of a ranking by
computing the percentile rank from the predicted
confidence and dividing it by the original rank.
