recommenderlab: An R Framework for Developing and Testing Recommendation Algorithms

24 May 2022arXiv:2205.12371archive 2025-07-28

Michael Hahsler

Algorithms that create recommendations based on observed data have significant commercial value for online retailers and many other industries. Recommender systems have a significant research community, and studying such systems is part of most modern data science curricula. While there is an abundance of software that implements recommendation algorithms, there is little in terms of supporting recommender system research and education. This paper describes the open-source software recommenderlab which was created with supporting research and education in mind. The package can be directly installed in R or downloaded from https://github.com/mhahsler/recommenderlab.
