This work is heavily based on Self-Attentive Sequential Recommendation (SASRec). Please cite their paper if you use the code or datasets:
Wang-Cheng Kang, Julian McAuley (2018). Self-Attentive Sequential Recommendation. In Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'18)
The preprocessed datasets are included in the repo (e.g. data/Video.txt), where each line contains an user id and
item id (starting from 1) meaning an interaction (sorted by timestamp).
The data pre-processing script is also included. For example, you could download Amazon review data from here., and run the script to produce the txt format data.
We crawled reviews and game information from Steam. The dataset contains 7,793,069 reviews, 2,567,538 users, and 32,135 games. In addition to the review text, the data also includes the users' play hours in each review.

}To train our model on Video (with default hyper-parameters):
python main.py --dataset=Video --train_dir=default
or on ml-1m:
python mainAttr.py --dataset=ml-1m --train_dir=default --maxlen=200 --dropout_rate=0.2
The implemention of self attention is modified based on this
