Sim4Rec: Flexible and Extensible Simulator for Recommender Systems for Large-Scale Data

Anna Volodkevich, Ivanova V., Vasilev A. et al., , in: Advances in Information Retrieval: 47th European Conference on Information Retrieval, ECIR 2025, Lucca, Italy, April 6–10, 2025, Proceedings, Part IV.: Springer, 2025. P. 425–430.

Simulators for recommender systems are widely used for recommender systems performance evaluation and feedback loop effects analysis. Existing simulators often propose inflexible pipelines, are focused on narrow research tasks, or are not adapted to work with industrial large data volumes. To address these challenges, we developed the Sim4Rec simulation framework. The Sim4Rec models key aspects ...
