In this paper, we evaluate the TransRec model based on end-to-end training of the recommender backbone and item modality encoder, which is computationally expensive. The reason we do this is because so far there is no widely accepted paradigm for pre-training recommendation models. End-to-end training shows better performance than pre-extracted multimodal features. However, we hope that NineRec can inspire more effective and efficient methods of pre-training recommendation models, rather than just limiting it to the end-to-end training paradigm. If one can develop a very efficient method that goes beyond end-to-end training but can be effectively transferable, it will be a great contribution to the community!!!

If you are interested in pre-training on a larger dataset (even than our source dataset), please visit our PixelRec: https://github.com/westlake-repl/PixelRec. PixelRec can be used as the source data set of NineRec, and these downstream tasks of NineRec are cross-domain/platform scenarios.
QB_covercontains the raw images in JPG format, with item ID as the file name:
QB_behaviour.tsvcontains the user-item interactions in item sequence format, where the first field is the user ID and the second field is a sequence of item ID (has been provided in QB and TN, see Dataset Preparation below to generate this file for others):
| User ID | Item ID Sequence |
|---|---|

QB_pair.csvcontains the user-item interactions in user-item pair format, where the first field is the user ID, the second field is the item ID, and the third field is a timestamp:
| User ID | Item ID | Timestamp |
|---|---|---|
| u14500 | v17551 | (only not provided in QB and TN) |
QB_item.csvcontains the raw texts, where the first field is the item ID and the second field is the text in Chinese, and the third field is the text in English:
| Item ID | Text in Chinese | Text in English |
|---|---|---|
| v17551 | 韩国电影，《女教师》 | "Korean Movie, The Governess" |
QB_url.csvcontains the URL link of items, where the first field is the item ID and the second field is the URL:
| Item ID | URL |
|---|---|
| v17551 | (only not provided in QB and TN) |
*Note that source datasets, Bili_2M and its smaller version Bili_500K, share the same image folder Source_Bili_2M_cover for less storage space.
