Gorse is an open-source recommendation system engine written in Go. Gorse aims to be a universal open-source recommender system that can be quickly introduced into a wide variety of online services. By importing items, users, and interaction data into Gorse, the system will automatically train models to generate recommendations for each user. Project features are as follows.






- **Multi-source:** Recommend items from latest, user-to-user, item-to-item, collaborative filtering and etc.

- **AutoML:** Search the best recommendation model automatically in the background.

- **Distributed prediction:** Support horizontal scaling in the recommendation stage after single node training.

- **RESTful APIs:** Expose RESTful APIs for data CRUD and recommendation requests.

- **Online evaluation:** Analyze online recommendation performance from recently inserted feedback.

- **GUI Dashboard:** Provide GUI dashboard for data management and system monitoring.



## Quick Start



The playground mode has been prepared for beginners. Just set up a recommender system for GitHub repositories by the following commands.



```bash

docker run -p 8088:8088 zhenghaoz/gorse-in-one --playground

```



The playground mode will download data from [GitRec](https://gitrec.gorse.io/) and import it into Gorse. The dashboard is available at `http://localhost:8088`.






After the "Generate item-to-item recommendation" task is completed on the "Tasks" page, try to insert several feedbacks into Gorse. Suppose Bob is a developer who interested in LLM related repositories. We insert his star feedback to Gorse.



```bash

read -d '' JSON << EOF

[

    { \"FeedbackType\": \"star\", \"UserId\": \"bob\", \"ItemId\": \"ollama:ollama\", \"Value\": 1.0, \"Timestamp\": \"2022-02-24\" },

    { \"FeedbackType\": \"star\", \"UserId\": \"bob\", \"ItemId\": \"huggingface:transformers\", \"Value\": 1.0, \"Timestamp\": \"2022-02-25\" },

    { \"FeedbackType\": \"star\", \"UserId\": \"bob\", \"ItemId\": \"rasbt:llms-from-scratch\", \"Value\": 1.0, \"Timestamp\": \"2022-02-26\" },

    { \"FeedbackType\": \"star\", \"UserId\": \"bob\", \"ItemId\": \"vllm-project:vllm\", \"Value\": 1.0, \"Timestamp\": \"2022-02-27\" },

    { \"FeedbackType\": \"star\", \"UserId\": \"bob\", \"ItemId\": \"hiyouga:llama-factory\", \"Value\": 1.0, \"Timestamp\": \"2022-02-28\" }

]

EOF



curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/feedback \

   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

   -d "$JSON"

```



Then, fetch 10 recommended items from Gorse. We can find that LLM-related repositories are recommended for Bob.



```bash

curl http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/recommend/bob?n=10

```

## Architecture



Gorse is a single-node training and distributed prediction recommender system. Gorse stores data in MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, or ClickHouse, with intermediate results cached in Redis, MySQL, MongoDB and Postgres.



1. The cluster consists of a master node, multiple worker nodes, and server nodes.

1. The master node is responsible for model training, non-personalized recommendation, configuration management, and membership management.

1. The server node is responsible for exposing the RESTful APIs and online real-time recommendations.

1. Worker nodes are responsible for offline recommendations for each user.



In addition, the administrator can perform system monitoring, data import and export, and system status checking via the dashboard on the master node.
