  Description     : toolkit for building, researching, and studying recommedner systems

LensKit provides high-quality implementations of well-regarded collaborative
filtering algorithms and is designed for integration into web applications
and other similarly complex environments.
.
LensKit provides infrastructure to manage configuration, data access, and
the model build process, and allows you to easily compare your new algorithm
against high-quality implementations of existing well-accepted algorithms.
.
LensKit’s source code is freely available under an open source license and
is suitable for self-study or use in classroom settings. Our goal is to
produce readable, straightforward implementations that achieve good
performance while at the same time serving as executable documentation for
how to turn recommender algorithms from math to code, as well as a working
example of how to deal with the details necessary to connect recommenders to
databases, manage models and configuration, and integrate them into
web-based environments.
