KitREC Test Dataset - Set A

Evaluation test dataset for the KitREC (Knowledge-Instruction Transfer for Recommendation) cross-domain recommendation system.

Dataset Description

This test dataset is designed for evaluating fine-tuned LLMs on cross-domain recommendation tasks across 10 different user types.

Dataset Summary

Attribute	Value
Candidate Set	Set A (Hybrid (Hard negatives + Random))
Total Samples	30,000
Source Domain	Books
Target Domains	Movies & TV, Music
User Types	10 (5 per target domain)
Rating Range	1.0 - 5.0
Mean Rating	4.259

Set A vs Set B

• Set A (Hybrid): Contains hard negative candidates + random candidates for challenging evaluation
• Set B (Random): Contains only random candidates for fair baseline comparison

Both sets use the same ground truth items but differ in candidate composition.

User Type Distribution

User Type	Count	Percentage
cold_start_2core_movies	3,000	10.00%
cold_start_2core_music	3,000	10.00%
cold_start_3core_movies	3,000	10.00%
cold_start_3core_music	3,000	10.00%
cold_start_4core_movies	3,000	10.00%
cold_start_4core_music	3,000	10.00%
overlapping_books_movies	3,000	10.00%
overlapping_books_music	3,000	10.00%
source_only_movies	3,000	10.00%
source_only_music	3,000	10.00%

User Type Definitions

User Type	Description
overlapping_books_movies	Users with history in both Books and Movies & TV
overlapping_books_music	Users with history in both Books and Music
cold_start_2core_movies	Movies cold-start users with 2 target interactions
cold_start_2core_music	Music cold-start users with 2 target interactions
cold_start_3core_movies	Movies cold-start users with 3 target interactions
cold_start_3core_music	Music cold-start users with 3 target interactions
cold_start_4core_movies	Movies cold-start users with 4 target interactions
cold_start_4core_music	Music cold-start users with 4 target interactions
source_only_movies	Users with ONLY Books history (extreme cold-start for Movies)
source_only_music	Users with ONLY Books history (extreme cold-start for Music)

Dataset Structure

Data Fields

• instruction (string): The recommendation prompt including user history
• input (string): Candidate items for recommendation (100 items per sample)
• gt_item_id (string): Ground truth item ID
• gt_title (string): Ground truth item title
• gt_rating (float): User's actual rating for the ground truth item (1-5 scale)
• user_id (string): Unique user identifier
• user_type (string): User category (10 types)
• candidate_set (string): A or B
• source_domain (string): Books
• target_domain (string): Movies & TV or Music
• candidate_count (int): Number of candidate items (100)

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load test dataset
dataset = load_dataset("Younggooo/kitrec-test-seta")

# Access test data
test_data = dataset["test"]
print(f"Test samples: {len(test_data)}")

# Example: Filter by user type
overlapping_movies = test_data.filter(
    lambda x: x["user_type"] == "overlapping_books_movies"
)
print(f"Overlapping Movies users: {len(overlapping_movies)}")

# Example: Calculate metrics by user type
from collections import defaultdict
user_type_metrics = defaultdict(list)
for sample in test_data:
    user_type_metrics[sample["user_type"]].append(sample["gt_rating"])

Evaluation Protocol

Metrics

• Hit@K (K=1, 5, 10): Whether GT item is in top-K predictions
• MRR: Mean Reciprocal Rank
• NDCG@10: Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain

Stratified Analysis

Evaluate separately for each of the 10 user types to understand model performance across different scenarios.

RQ4: Confidence-Rating Alignment

Use gt_rating field to analyze correlation between model's confidence scores and actual user ratings.

Research Questions Addressed

RQ	Question	Relevant Fields
RQ1	KitREC structure effectiveness	All user types
RQ2	Comparison with baselines	All metrics
RQ3	Cold-start performance	cold_start_* user types
RQ4	Confidence-rating alignment	gt_rating
