DataRec Library for Reproducible in Recommend Systems

In this episode of Data Skeptic's Recommender Systems series, host Kyle Polich explores DataRec, a new Python library designed to bring reproducibility and standardization to recommender systems research. Guest Alberto Carlo Mario Mancino, a postdoc researcher from Politecnico di Bari, Italy, discusses the challenges of dataset management in recommendation research—from version control issues to preprocessing inconsistencies—and how DataRec provides automated downloads, checksum verification, and standardized filtering strategies for popular datasets like MovieLens, Last.fm, and Amazon reviews.

The conversation covers Alberto's research journey through knowledge graphs, graph-based recommenders, privacy considerations, and recommendation novelty. He explains why small modifications in datasets can significantly impact research outcomes, the importance of offline evaluation, and DataRec's vision as a lightweight library that integrates with existing frameworks rather than replacing them. Whether you're benchmarking new algorithms or exploring recommendation techniques, this episode offers practical insights into one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of reproducible ML research.
