# UserMirrorer-eval
This is the evaluation set of **UserMirrorer**, presented in the paper [Mirroring Users: Towards Building Preference-aligned User Simulator with User Feedback in Recommendation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2508.18142).
**Code**: [Joinn99/UserMirrorer](https://github.com/Joinn99/UserMirrorer)
## Notice
In the `UserMirrorer` dataset, the raw data from `MIND` and `MovieLens-1M` datasets are distributed under restrictive licenses and cannot be included directly.
Therefore, we provide a comprehensive, step-by-step pipeline to load the original archives, execute all necessary preprocessing operations, and assemble the final UserMirrorer training and test splits.
Click [here](https://colab.research.google.com/github/UserMirrorer/UserMirrorer/blob/main/UserMirrorer_GetFullDataset.ipynb) to run the script notebook on Google Colab to get the full dataset. Also, you can download it and run it locally.
## Evaluation Usage
To run the evaluation, you can execute the following command provided in the official repository:
```bash
python usermirrorer/run_eval.py \
--project_path <YOUR_WORKING_DIR> \ # The path to your working directory
--model_path <MODEL_PATH> \ # The path to the model
--input_file <INPUT_FILE> \ # The path to the input file
--output_file <OUTPUT_FILE> \ # The path to the output file
--mode <MODE> \ # The mode of the evaluation
--repeat_times <REPEAT_TIMES> \ # The number of sampling times
```
