Technical requirements
Most parts of this chapter require access to the DataRobot software. The example utilizes a relatively small dataset, Book-Crossing, consisting of three tables, whose manipulation was described earlier in Chapter 10, Recommender Systems. As will be covered in the data description, we will create new fields in addition to those used in Chapter 10, Recommender Systems.
Book-Crossing dataset
The example used to illustrate the aspects of model governance is the same as the one used for building recommendation systems in Chapter 10, Recommender Systems. The dataset is based on the Book-Crossing dataset by Cai-Nicolas Ziegler and colleagues (http://www2.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~cziegler/BX/). The data was collected during a 4-week crawl from the Book-Crossing community between August and September 2004.
Important Note
Before using this dataset, the authors of this book have informed the owner of the dataset about its usage in this book:
