New FINALLY system streamlines dataset selection for recommender systems research

A new web-based system called FINALLY has been developed to assist researchers in selecting appropriate datasets for evaluating recommender systems. FINALLY allows users to specify required datasets, restrict candidate pools, filter by metadata, and set target set sizes. The system employs strategies based on adapted Effective Covariance and Convex Hull objectives to generate diverse or non-diverse dataset sets, which were evaluated through 420 recommendation runs across ten configurations. The evaluations confirmed the technical consistency and reproducibility of the FINALLY workflow, demonstrating that the implemented strategies optimize in their intended directions within the tested configuration space.

    FINALLY: A Dataset Recommender System for Recommender-Systems Research

    Dataset selection shapes the empirical conditions under which recommender-system algorithms are evaluated, yet existing tools provide limited support for constructing complete dataset sets that jointly satisfy experimental constraints and set-level selection objectives. To addres…
