-------------------------------------------
I agree that it's unclear what to do with a new item. I don't think there are
any good options and would support either not tolerating or ignoring new items.
> RegressionEvaluator returns NaN for ALS in Spark ml
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-14489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14489
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ML
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Environment: AWS EMR
> Reporter: Boris Clémençon
> Labels: patch
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> When building a Spark ML pipeline containing an ALS estimator, the metrics
> "rmse", "mse", "r2" and "mae" all return NaN.
> The reason is in CrossValidator.scala line 109. The K-folds are randomly
> generated. For large and sparse datasets, there is a significant probability
> that at least one user of the validation set is missing in the training set,
> hence generating a few NaN estimation with transform method and NaN
> RegressionEvaluator's metrics too.
> Suggestion to fix the bug: remove the NaN values while computing the rmse or
> other metrics (ie, removing users or items in validation test that is missing
> in the learning set). Send logs when this happen.
> Issue SPARK-14153 seems to be the same pbm
> {code:title=Bar.scala|borderStyle=solid}
> val splits = MLUtils.kFold(dataset.rdd, $(numFolds), 0)
> splits.zipWithIndex.foreach { case ((training, validation), splitIndex) =>
> val trainingDataset = sqlCtx.createDataFrame(training, schema).cache()
> val validationDataset = sqlCtx.createDataFrame(validation,
> schema).cache()
> // multi-model training
> logDebug(s"Train split $splitIndex with multiple sets of parameters.")
> val models = est.fit(trainingDataset, epm).asInstanceOf[Seq[Model[_]]]
> trainingDataset.unpersist()
> var i = 0
> while (i < numModels) {
> // TODO: duplicate evaluator to take extra params from input
> val metric = eval.evaluate(models(i).transform(validationDataset,
> epm(i)))
> logDebug(s"Got metric $metric for model trained with ${epm(i)}.")
> metrics(i) += metric
> i += 1
> }
> validationDataset.unpersist()
> }
> {code}
